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.
The stonework to several windowsills is spalding as a result of rusting metal window bars.
The provision of window guards is inconsistent. The existing guards are formed from galvanised mild steel. Several are rusting, rendering them ineffective as well as staining the stone work.
The lancet window is weathering and will need replacing.
The stonework underneath the south east gargoyle to the tower is weathered. This will need to be cut out and replaced.
The parapet to the South Aisle, west end, is loose with cracks extending to the window head. The loose stonework needs to be rebuilt and extensive re-pointing is required.
