Estimated cost of repairs: to be announced

The original nave would have been somewhat shorter and lower than at present. The Guild of the Holy Cross, a mediaeval trade guild with religious and charitable aims, was formed in 1269, and between 1280 and 1330 gave the money to build the tower and rebuild the nave with side-aisles.

Sections of the tracery are badly weathered to the North elevation of the Nave, as witnessed by broken off stonework on the aisle roof. These are in urgent need of repair. Repair work will not solve the problem long term and if funds can be made available complete renewal of the tracery (as on the South side of the Nave) should be undertaken.
