FoStA Projects

The raison d' être of FoStA is to raise funds to help preserve, maintain and improve the fabric of this historic building and the ancient graveyard - as the cost of so doing becomes an increasingly heavier burden on the regular congregation.

Listed below are the brief details of recent projects and work that has been identified as being suitable for FoStA to support.
