The Nave Roof has been damaged by water ingress and Death Watch beetle attack.
The ends of the rafters have been eaten away by the beetles and the damage has progressed through the core of the timbers.
The roof requires stripping and new oak rafters spliced into the existing.
Repairs will cost  between a quarter and a half million pounds.
Without Grant Funding this work will never get done and the building will be deemed unsafe for worship.
