On October 18, the church said that work had begun to restore the four clock faces on its church tower. The clock faces were then removed for restoration work on October 30 by the Tarrant Group.

The church’s Binns Organ is also currently undergoing major restoration work for the first time in over 50 years. All services are being accompanied on the grand piano at the moment.

The church said: “We have still not reached the full amount that the total restoration will be costing us, and we would therefore be incredibly grateful for any donations, however large or small.”
