Church Building

Refurbishment

In early 2014, a Quinquennial Building Inspection of the church, a Grade II Listed Building, identified some significant repair and refurbishment works requirements relating to the stonework of the church – particularly, the building’s chimneys, elevations, coping stones and boundary walls. Following some significant fund-raising, the work was undertaken at the church between 2014 and 2016 by Wells Masonry Services Ltd, overseen by KBW Property Ltd.

The extensive works

were funded by gifts

and grants from the

following individuals

and organisations:

Bourton-on-the-Water Baptist Church Members and Friends The W J B Halls Trust The Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme The Gloucestershire Environmental Trust (Funded from Landfill Tax contributions donated by Cory Environmental) The Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust The Garfield Weston Foundation The Cotswold District Council Community Projects Fund Bourton-on-the-Water Parish Council We have been very richly blessed by the significant personal donations from Church Members and friends, together with the generous grants received from all the above organisations, without whose very generous support, this important project could not have been undertaken.

Youth Club Funding Award

We are extremely grateful to the Mid Counties Co-operative for the award of funding from their Carrier Bag Good Causes Fund in support of the church Youth Club. Thank you also to the Cotswold Regional Community for nominating us! The funds will be used to buy some much wanted equipment for the Youth Club.

This Season

During this season of caution, we are now gathering again for worship in the church building every Sunday morning, either for ‘live’ worship led by a member of the church or a visiting speaker or to join the online service streamed from Cirencester Baptist Church; all are very welcome to join us.
