The Church of St Peter and St Paul in Tuttington is about to begin the first phase of essential repairs. All those efforts by local volunteers to raise funds are coming to fruition. But, there is a down-side. During the repair work, access to the church by visitors will be restricted.

Work will begin on Monday 23rd March 2026 when scaffolding is to be erected. This preliminary work might also disrupt traffic during the day. Over the next five weeks or so there is to be internal work to repair the chancel ceiling and prevent further dislodging of the ceiling timbers. Externally, the drainage system will be upgraded on both north and south sides of the chancel to prevent water ingress.

During the work, it will sadly not be possible for young families to enter the church to play with the toys. Parts of the churchyard may be accessible but there will be warning signs where access is restricted.

During the period of repair work, there will be no scheduled services held. Also, the Annual Parish Meeting and the Annual Parish Council Meeting due to be held in the church on Wednesday 6th May at 7:30pm will re-locate to Burgh Reading Room (unless otherwise stated). No other functions will be hosted in the church over the period. This includes the popular Easter coffee morning which should appear again later in the spring.

It is anticipated that the work will be completed before the end of May 2026.
