After arranging the contracts needed to start this feasibility stage, work has begun on many fronts. The church architect has been appointed, and we are pleased to be working with such skilled professionals. They have begun their condition survey, which is fundamental to identifying what is required to install the new permanent roof and repair the building’s fabric, which has deteriorated considerablydue to the lack of a suitable covering.
We have also started the Community audit of the church’s value and purpose in our community. Perhaps you would like to contribute your thoughts: https://forms.gle/5p6QVN73oDLz6iqH7
Heritage Lincolnshire will be on site on Friday, 6th February 2026. They will be undertaking the planned Accessibility audit of St. Peter’s, so we can work out what is needed to make the building more accessible to all our community members. They will also be joining us for the Chinese Night fundraising event to talk about the project and enjoy the fun and laughter that come with being part of the Kirby Bellars family. Tickets are still available with either Emma on 07866663153 or Clair on 07792473797.

It is with great pleasure that the volunteers of St. Peters, Kirby Bellars, can announced that they have been successful in the receiving funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund. This is a great achievement, meaning that the project team can start the feasibility stage in the preservation and preparation of the church for future generations.
Working with Heritage Lincolnshire, the project team will begin a series of tasks to ascertain the repair and upgrade work required to the church building, alongside engaging with the local community in the role St. Peters can have for the future.
