The reverend of the Grade-II listed Church of All Saints and Martyrs, Langley, has thanked everyone for their support in raising money towards repairs.
The spire – known as a fleche – of the Wood Street church collapsed on the last weekend of October, believed to be due to old age and bad weather.

A crowdfunding appeal started by the founders of local charity Cold Hands, Warm Hearts raised over £1,000 towards the repairs, estimated to cost around £2,250.
In a short video clip, Reverend Philip Miller thanked everyone who has contributed.
He said: “It’s very much appreciated. Thank you all so very, very much.”
All Saints and Martyrs Church became a listed building on 4 June 2021 and has now been put on the Building at Risk Register by Historic England. It was built between 1963 and 1964, designed by Albert Hilton Walker of Leach, Rhodes & Walker of Manchester, and named one of Historic England’s highlighted heritage sites listed this year.
