St James Church - North Cray - A Church within the
BEXLEY TEAM
The ancient parish church of St James, North Cray has been here as a focal point for the community through many lifetimes. We are facing a number of significant challenges with the church building, the most pressing of these are our lovely church spire and the church roof. If you value your parish church, and the part it plays in your community, please do consider making a donation to this work.
St James Church Fundraising
Thank you to everyone who has supported the fundraising for the spire repairs - You have raised over £15,000 so far - we are still raising funds locally and by bidding for grants from various charities. Our current target for the works is £200,000.
We had the spire thoroughly inspected by steeplejacks so we could assess the damage and determine the work and costs involved.
