Problems of an old church building

Maintaining an ancient building such as St Cyrs with the inevitable periodic, costly repairs is an onerous task for a tiny village. Today with smaller older congregations and tighter budgets it means that if a village wants the church to remain a focal point it must come together to raise money. To this end, The Friends of St Cyrs Church was formed in 2006.
