his little Norman Church, of the latter part of the 12th century,
has a wide reputation for its south door and east end, which

are both in imminent danger of collapse; the preservation of
which is of national as well as of local interest.

Mr. W. A. Forsyth, F.!2.l.B.A., the eminent architect, who has been
called in, reports that it is absolutely necessary, in order to preserve

the Church, to carry out immediately the following works:

SOUTH

DOORWAY

1.

Supporting and strength-

ening the unique Norman
South Door.

Underpinning the walls

where necessary.

Creating a dry area all
round the Church in order
to safeguard the stability
of the building for the
future-

Repairs to the stone work
of the windows.

An V efficient system of
heating.

The cost of these works

is estimated at

£1,800

The Parochial Church Council for the united parishes of bridge
and Datrixbourne, which is responsible for the upkeep of two

ancient churches, is now faced with this heavy expenditure...

They therefore appeal to the parishioners, to the Church people of the
Diocese, and to the wider circle of all who are interested in the history and
architecture of this country to assist them in raising this sum in order to preserve
this wonderfully rich and characteristic specimen of late Norman architecture.
