Help for Heritage as St. Egelwin’s Church, Scalford receives lifeline from Government’s Culture Recovery Fund.
Historic sites including St Egelwin’s church has received a grant of £19 800 to meet the costs of restoring drainage around the church foundations. Built from soft ironstone, the church has been affected by climate change with gutters and drains unable to cope with recent heavier downpours of rain. The grant is to be used to create a drainage system fit for purpose with french drains and new soakaways.

Penny Clemons, the churchwarden, says “The church has suffered an increasing damp problem affecting outer stonework and inside plasterwork. This lifeline is a great help and work will commence just as soon as plans and contracts are finalised. The church has been a focal part of Scalford village for nearly 1000 years and we need to make sure it lasts.”

9The beautiful church of St Egelwin dates back to the Middle Ages and sits in the heart of the pretty village of Scalford.
The church holds several services each month, the Benefice Communion service on the first Sunday at 10.30am and
Praise on Sunday on the third Sunday at 4.30pm. This is an ecumenical service of prayer, praise, and a reflection on a reading from the Bible. Refreshments are served after both services.
The church has recently completed renovation and is looking lovely with new facilities, children's area with toys and meeting area.
We are in the process of further changes to the west end of the church in order to expand the office space and to incorporate a 'Community room'
