What will St John's look like when transformed?
It's hard to imagine what St Johns' will look like - we're so used to seeing it as it is. Read on and you'll see some images which are easier to 'see' than reading off plans
What will it look like?
Our aim: a beating heart into the future
Our Vision Ours is an ambitious project to use St John’s Church to provide not only spiritual sustenance but also be available for use for the benefit of many. After huge amounts of work and effort we have permission to develop the interior of St John’s while maintaining externally the historical integrity of a building which has existed since the 1800s. The vision we have held since the closure of the church hall in 2007 is to provide an exciting new space available for all to use. This project can benefit the community in so many ways: the school, community groups and so much more. The hall is remembered by many as being at the heart of the community: the place where dances brought couples together and where celebrations and events took place. This project aims to create a new space to create new memories. It has been a long haul to negotiate the legal pathway to develop the church beyond use solely for a worship space. The future is an innovative space which will permit many uses and benefit a wide range of people. The Challenge We are already halfway to our target and need to raise approximately £250,000 to complete the work, hopefully within the next 12-18 months. Can you help? |
