They will really brighten up our lovely old building and provide a more comfortable seat for our visitors throughout the year. Thank you in advance to all who decide to get behind this campaign.

This appeal is to raise funds for pew runners which will offer warm and comfortable seating to locals, tourists and visitors to this historic church.
