A GRADE II listed church is appealing to residents to help it raise a final £48,000 to repair its crumbling stonework.

St Catherine’s Church, in Thame, has already been awarded a £73,950 grant from South Oxfordshire District Council but as the cost of repairs and development stand at £335,000, it has only raised £287,000.

The Building Project Appeal to also repair the church’s tower and make the roof watertight is open for donations at: towerseychurch.org.uk/building
