A MUCH-loved York church is to share in a £463,000 cash boost to fund repairs to its building.
A £10,000 National Churches Trust Cornerstone Grant will help fund renewal of the roof and repairs to the rainwater goods at the Grade II listed St Oswald’s Church in Fulford, making the building watertight and preserving its historic fabric.
Broadcaster and journalist Huw Edwards, vice president of The National Churches Trust, said: “The UK’s historic churches and chapels are a vital part of our national heritage and have done so much to help local people during the Covid-19 lockdown.
"But to survive, many need to carry out urgent repairs and install modern facilities. The cost of this work is far beyond what most congregations can pay for themselves.
