You’re Invited: Behind the Scenes of a £1.3 Million Restoration Project

Sunday 14 September – 4:00pm until 5:30pm

St Mary’s Hall, 30 Hendon Lane, N3 1TR

Join us for a unique opportunity to hear from Jodie Edwards, the lead architect behind our Give Me Shelter Church and Churchyard project — a transformative £1.3 million initiative funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to repair and restore the roof of our beloved Grade II* listed church.

Discover how this ambitious project will preserve our historic building for future generations, enhance its role as a hub for community life and uncover stories hidden in the rafters.

🎙️ What to Expect:

  • An inside look at the design and challenges of restoring a heritage roof

  • The role of conservation in community spaces

  • Q&A with the project architect

  • Refreshments served after the talk

All are welcome — whether you’re passionate about heritage, curious about architecture or simply want to learn more about this vital project.

Come and be inspired by what the future holds for our church and community!
