Churches Conservation Trust takes over St. Botolph’s
The West Sussex Gazette reports:
A committee has been set up to oversee St Botolph’s Church, on the South Downs Way.
The meeting organised last Wednesday by the Churches Conservation Trust, which took over the Annington Road church’s care the same day, was attended by 12 people from Botolphs and the surrounding area. ..
The church, a perfect refuge for passers by, will be closed for major repairs this autumn, so those who would like to should visit the church over the next few months, the trust advises. It is currently open daily.
