The cost of the repairs came to around £20,000.

Because the situation was urgent, the Village Church Council could not wait to raise the necessary funds before starting work so had to obtain a loan from the Diocese of York.

The church council now has to repay the loan.

A spokesman said: “Donations from anyone who has a link with All Saints Church would be most welcome. We are grateful to Yorkshire Historic Churches Trust, All Churches Trust and the Garfield Weston Foundation for their grants.”
