The project included the installation of new high-capacity cast iron-effect guttering, careful lime repointing of high-level brickwork and stonework, and the repointing of the Vestry chimney along with the installation of a new flue. Broken slates were also replaced with traditional Welsh slates, staying true to the church’s historic character.A huge thank you goes to Pinnacle Conservation Ltd for their outstanding craftsmanship — the work has been done so sensitively and skilfully, you can barely tell they’ve been!This vital restoration would not have been possible without the incredible support of our community, a generous legacy gift, and our fundraising champions. We are deeply grateful to the Yorkshire Historic Churches Trust, North Yorkshire Council, Northern Energy, Green Tech, the Catherine Cookson Charitable Trust, the Diocese of Leeds (through the Church Building and Building for Mission grants), and the Church of England Give to Go Green Match Funding for their invaluable contributions.Thank you for helping preserve the beauty and heritage of our church for future generations!#StBartholomews #ChurchRestoration #HeritageMatters #ThankYou #GiveToGoGreen
