Help for Heritage as St. Egelwin’s Church, Scalford receives lifeline from Government’s Culture Recovery Fund.
Historic sites including St Egelwin’s church have 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 has been 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 was a great help. The church has been a focal part of Scalford village for nearly 1000 years and we need to make sure it lasts.”

The beautiful church of St Egelwin dates back to the Middle Ages and sits in the heart of the pretty village of Scalford.
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 incorporate a 'Community room'.
We have been fortunate to secure a grant in order to replace inadequate drains with a new system of french drains and soakaways. These changes have now been completed.
A new burglar alarm has also been installed for which we were pleased to receive much of the cost through grants.
