St Theodore's Restoration
The St. Theodore's Restoration Fund was re-launched in August 1996 with the new Vicar's proposal to the Parochial Church Council (P.C.C.) being adopted - that the Parish would have to start providing sufficient giving to pay for all its everyday running costs so that every penny raised in any form of fundraising would from that point be dedicated to the Restoration Fund.

The challenge was met so that by July 1997 there was £27,000. in the Restoration Fund. The next aim was to double it !
The P.C.C. nervously adopted the Vicar's proposal that a Gift Period be held between the Centenary of the Consecration of St. Theodore's Church on 5th August 1997 to St. Theodore's Day on 19th September 1997 and that during that period the 270 people on the Electoral Roll of the Parish each be asked to give £100 - which would double the Restoration Fund in six weeks. At the Centenary Patronal Festival it was announced that some £25,933.00 had been given during the Gift Period.
With these credentials the Parish launched a door to door appeal throughout the parish which raised a further £2,563.89.
