Just before the end of 2008 we had the news that St Cuby's has been awarded a grant from English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund to restore a considerable part of the church roof which has been giving so many problems over recent years. This is a marvellous encouragement to the Friends of St Cuby who have raised £14,000 towards the repairs in the last year.
With the aid of more fund raising and additional grants all the external works, the roof and associated groundworks to handle the surface water, exterior painting etc. are now completed and a huge thank you is due to all those that assisted with the fund raising and to the various grant making bodies who were good enough to support us.

February 2010  - new heating system installed and working - St.Cuby's almost tropical!

April 2010 - scaffolding due to be erected this month and the north aisle will be screened off to allow roof works to proceed in safety.

June 2010 - work proceeds apace with fine weather enabling the schedule to be maintained or bettered.

July 2010 - the repairs to the roof have been completed ahead of time and the scaffolding has been removed. Now the groundworks can commence which will deal with the surface water collected from the restored roof.

August 2010 - all roof and groundworks now complete together with painting of external doors. All that remains is some internal plastering but this must wait until the walls have fully  dried out, perhaps - 2/3 years.

October 2010 - With guidance from the Diocesan Advisory Committee, plans are under consideration for certain internal improvements including the provision of a kitchen and a cloakroom, re-ordering of the baptistry and the Colshull Chapel, creation of a meeting room and replacement of the ageing organ. More news on these developments as events arise.

30 October 2011 - Our first Craft Fair in church from 10.30 am until 4pm  - writing now - just a few hours after the fair closed it has been a huge success - all the stall holders were delighted and will come again if we have another and the church funds have increased by around £1200!! Great to see the church packed with folk and used as it should be. Numerous photos in the gallery section and a short video. Well done to all concerned!!

6 November 2011 - First Tuesday evening practice session for bell ringers - well attended and hopefully the first of many. Perhaps we will soon have the nucleus of a regular band of ringers. 

January 2012 - A new organ has been acquired to replace the ageing pipe organ which is now beyond affordable repair. The new instrument is manufactured by Content of Holland and has been supplied by Classic Organs of Cornwall. An inaugural recital by Ron Keeping, founder of Classic Organs is planned to take place soon.
