St George in the East
St George in the East is a large Grade I listed church. Built in 1757 it takes a good deal of care and maintenance to keep it open. We need help from someone handy with basic DIY, plumbing and electrics, as well as keeping the surrounding areas clean and safe. You would be joining a small Operations Team of three people. We also support a team of occasional bell ringers and a nest of Peregrine falcons!
