Friends of St Cyrs

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.

Charity Objectives of The Friends of St Cyrs Church

The objectives of the charity are “To advance the Christian religion by contribution to maintain, restore, improve and reconstruct the fabric of St Crys Church, Stinchcombe, Gloucestershire, including its monuments, fixtures, fittings, furniture, stained glass, ornaments, other chattels and its churchyard for the benefit of the public.”

  • Resurfacing of paths: COMPLETED
  • Raising over £25K for new roof: COMPLETED
