A Suffolk church will be saved from early dereliction by £25,000 in grant funding.
The historic church of St Mary in Nettlestead will receive £17,500 from National Churches Trust Cornerstone Grant as well as £7,500 from the Wolfson Foundation on the recommendation of the National Churches Trust.
The funds will be used to pay for repairs to the roof of the church which dates back to Norman times.
Welcoming the funding, churchwarden Jeanna McCarthy, said: “We have been fundraising for more than three years to carry out desperately needed basic repairs to our lovely little church. In that time, we have seen its condition deteriorate steadily.
