The spire at St Gerrans Church will be fixed
Campaigners fighting to save an historic Cornish church spire are celebrating after winning a grant of 拢66,427 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The spire on the Roseland Peninsula is in a parlous state - the stone exterior is so badly eroded water has to be collected in buckets whenever it rains.
A massive campaign was launched to save the spire, added to the existing church tower in the 15th or early 16th Century to provide sailors and fishermen with a daymark.
Local fundraising, plus the grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, means work can start on the spire this autumn.
