Chairman’s Review of the Year: ‘It is incredible to think that, a year ago, we were sitting in the church on the new pew cushions purchased by The Friends and, I am pleased to say, they have proved to make life very much more comfortable for those attending church services, concerts, social events and even AGMs! In April, 2018, Mr Tobit Curteis of the Courthauld Institute was commissioned to inspect the church environment and advise on the condition of the wall paintings. His report was subsequently included in the application to the Heritage Lottery Fund. The last twelve months has been a very busy time for the Friends’ Trust.
