CHURCH stalls have been held at local markets to help raise funds to maintain an historical building.
St Nicholas Church in Portishead launched its Tenner a Tile campaign earlier this year to help raise the �725,000 needed to provide a new church roof. The campaign urges members of the local community to sponsor a tile for �10 to help the cause.
A spokesman for the project said: “Market stalls are a great way to reach members of the public and ask them to support the maintenance of this wonderful building which is part of the town’s heritage.”
More than �275,000 has already been raised.
Anyone wishing to support the campaign can find out more at the church office at the St Barnabas Centre in West Hill.
