The church underwent extensive repairs which value about £100,000 in 2015. That work was funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Being a Grade II listed constructing “automatically adds a lot of money” to the restore prices, mentioned Loynes.
The foremost a part of the church was constructed in the twelfth Century. The tower, constructed in the 14th Century, was underpinned in 1918 to forestall additional tilting.
“There was an old wives’ tale that during the Great Plague, people were buried under it or near it, or the tower was built on top of it,” Loynes mentioned. “I don’t think that’s true.”
He added: “I’ve actually got records going back into the 1800s where it was suggested that we should straighten the towers in Dry Doddington.
“But there was a lot fury. No approach had been we going to do this.”
