MORE than 20 pews from the former Trinity Methodist Church are up for grabs as Radstock Town Council offers the local community the chance to purchase a piece of local history.
Town residents and supporters are being offered a unique opportunity to own a church pew, while helping to secure the future of Trinity Hub.
As work continues on the transformation of the former Trinity Methodist Church into a community facility the local council is inviting people to get involved through its “Buy a Pew!” fundraising campaign.
A spokesperson for Radstock Town Council said: “The campaign offers the chance to own a distinctive piece of Trinity’s heritage, giving a pew a new home while helping to fund the continuing development of Trinity Hub.
“It is a wonderful opportunity to preserve a little piece of the building’s history while contributing to its new chapter as a much-needed community resource.”
The pews are available in different sizes, with suggested donations starting from £200 but residents will have to be quick as there has already been initial interest in the pews.
The spokesperson continued: “Whether you are looking for a meaningful memento of Trinity’s past, a unique addition to your home or simply wish to support an important project for the town, every contribution will help bring the vision for Trinity Hub to life.”
Work is progressing with Project EVE, the third phase of the refurbishment of the building to create the Trinity Hub with the kitchen has been stripped out, pews removed and work in Street Hall progressing.
Once complete the hub will be home to Radstock Town Council, Radstock Community Library and Community Hub, alongside new community facilities.
Anyone interested in finding out more purchasing a pew and giving it a new home, can register their interest with Radstock Town Council via their website or by calling: 01761 437962.
