Many of you will have heard about the possible closure of the unique landmark and iconic local church on the hill...St.Augustine. Money for the restoration of the church has been earmarked by the Heritage Lottery Fund but will only be released if the amount can be matched by local fund-raising initiatives. At somewhere in the region of £80K this is a big ask but not beyond the reach of SE23ers who would be appalled if this building were to be shut up and left to crumble with its instability possibly affecting access to parts of One-Tree Hill. On Friday 23rd of March at 7.30pm in this picturesque church, locally based professional musicians Benjamin Nabarro (violin)and Fiona Dalzell (piano)will be donating their services and have put together a fitting selection of celebrated sonantas perfect for an early Spring evening. All proceeds will go to the restoration fund and it is a wonderful oppurtunity to hear two outstanding musicians on your doorstep. What better way, whether church goers or not, to celebrate the return of Spring to One-Tree Hill and to help preserve for ours and future generations this remarkable building.
