Save our Tower!




The state of the sandstone
St Peter’s Church tower has been a Harborne landmark for 700 years - but for how much longer? The much-loved tower is desperately in need of some care: the stonework is crumbling and urgently needs to be repaired. Otherwise it could be permanently shrouded in scaffolding to avoid falling stonework - like in the picture.
​​​
In all we are hoping to raise £700,000 as, besides the repairs to the stonework, the weather vane needs re-erecting and the clock re-gilding. Could YOU be a Tower of Strength to this tower in need? Could YOU help to save this precious building so that it can support the community in the future, as a place of worship, a location for weddings, a venue for concerts, and more . . . . ?
​
Please support fund-raising events in the coming months. For instance, there will be a Flower Festival at Petertide in June 2026. Many more events will be planned.
