St George's Church, Woolhope

The current project, funded by the Friends of Woolhope Church, is the restoration of this historic monument on the north wall, believed to be a coffin lid from the 13th or 14th century. Here is a picture before any restoration work started:

With the scaffolding erected, restoration work has now begun. The first task was to remove the mortar from a previous repair attempt many years ago which was not up to modern standards:

Although not yet finished, you can see where some of the old mortar has been removed and the partial repair to the lower part of the monument:

We look forward to sharing a picture once the project has been completed.

We are delighted to offer the chance to donate to The Friends of Woolhope Church, using Stripe to make a secure payment. If you would like to help, please, please be assured that we will spend the money wisely to help maintain the building and keep the churchyard in tip-top condition. Your donation will also help us to raise enough money for larger and more expensive projects, such as improving the heating, providing a WC for the church etc.
