Recent Developments
The key task facing the people of Sheriffhales was one that has to be faced every hundred years or so, to replace the roof! This work, combined with some additional stonework repairs and a new drainage scheme cost over £170,000 a huge sum that was raised by the church Treasurer through English Heritage and other grant making bodies, as well as a generous "mind the gap" local campaign. With the roof secure the church has now to bring the inside of the building up to scratch to serve the needs of the local community.

The Jeremy Beasley Room
In a bold and visionary move the PCC petitioned for a Faculty to move the wooden screen forward, extending the old vestry to provide a new welcome and hospitality room. This will include toilet facilities, a small kitchenette servery, and a spacious warm room that may be used for children's work, for community meetings, midweek services, and for refreshments after the services.
