Hide AdA spokesperson for the group commented: “In September last year, the parish centre embarked on the journey of refurbishment, with six members of our congregation undertaking the ONC Level One in the Management of Rural Halls.
“The work itself commenced in February, consisting mainly of replacement boiler, radiators etc, replacing all the lighting with LED energy-efficient lighting and some work to a flat roof.
“We are delighted as a parish to have benefited from the refurbishment scheme, and hope that the work completed will have long-term sustainable benefits.
