Save our Tower!
nearly £50,000 so far raised





The current state of the sandstone

What could happen if nothing is done
How it could look
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 above. However, with restoration, the tower could look more like the picture on the right
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 faces 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. We have had some wonderful concerts recently with the performers very kindly giving the proceeds to the Tower Appeal
The next event is:
A Sponsored Obstacle Race by Junior Church on Sunday 13 September. Do please sponsor the Juniors to raise as much money as possible.
