“The Friends of St John the Baptist Church, Findon, was founded by village volunteers in 2017 as a charitable trust, raising funds for the restoration, preservation, repair, maintenance and improvement of this historic 1,000 year-old church. Fundraising efforts in the first year have already led to the Friends donating £10,000 towards stained glass window restoration in the vestry. Urgent repairs to the bell tower is the next project needing support.
