St. Luke's Church, Hickling is a beautiful Grade 1 listed historic church in the centre of our small village. It is fully involved in village life, used each week for services, coffee mornings, bellringing practices, with frequent use by the village choir, for weddings, baptisms, funerals, and community events. We want to care for the building and its life so that it can pass it on to future generations.
The tower was rebuilt in the Victorian era and has a wonderful clock which was provided by the villagers of the time. This still has to be wound manually 3 times a week by today's residents, pulling up the heavy weights. We hope to have an electric motor installed to do this, which will cost about £5000, so any money raised will go toward this.
We hope to visit about 20 churches and cycle about 60 km in the day.
Thank you for any support you can give.
