Role Description:

Grade Church is a small building dating back to the 13th Century for which a complete restoration is planned. We need to ensure the sustainability of the building and its fabric going forward by creating links with other cultural and heritage organisations.  An income stream needs to be secured by maintaining and increasing our visitor base and arranging regular events and exhibitions. This will ensure the ongoing sustainability and maintenance of this historic rural building. Volunteer building and development is another crucial contribution.
