Shobdon Church Funding

March 2011

Shobdon Church restoration moves nearer.

Rayska Heritage has just reported that a grant application for £50,000 on behalf of the Shobdon Church Preservation Trust has been successful.  The donation from the Garfield Weston Foundation will enable the work to go ahead without delay and a contract has now been agreed with Capps and Capps Ltd of Hereford, a highly respected firm of conservation builders. The main funder is English Heritage and the World Monument Fund has also given a generous donation and raised more money through its matched funding programme.
