ST DUNSTAN'S RENOVATION

St. Dunstan’s lies in the middle of the beautiful village of West Hoathly. It is in North Street not far from the centre of the village which is marked by St. Margaret’s, a pre- Reformation church, and The Cat opposite. Originally the Chapel was a butcher’s shop and two cottages. They were purchased in 1957 by a parishioner and converted to a chapel.

The building work is a response first of all to the Disabilities Act which demands all public buildings, including churches, be made suitable for the use of those of us with physical disabilities. Secondly, the window frames are rotting, lintels sagging and staircase rickety. Third, there is no loo in the chapel. All these three reasons have prompted this programme of building.

The money, £85,000, has been put together by a Bequest, a generous Trust donation, £10,000 from the Parish as a whole and £10,000 to be found from the worshipping community at the Chapel.

 

The building fund currently stands at £80,000

We need another £5,000
