Major repairs  and ongoing repairs.

North Tower Buttress current estimated costs £90K to £100K, to try offset

some of the costs we will be applying grants but fund raising will be required to finance the work. Unfortunately due to the issues we are experiencing with the South Aisle we are deferring the planning process for these repairs
