An inspection of the church 18 months ago confirmed that essential tie-bars at the top of the spire need urgent repairs, if it is to maintain its structural integrity. St Wen's is famous for its bellringing, but the bells remain out of action currently, as they may cause movement within the spire, which could cause further damage and masonry to fall. Repairs could cost up to £250,000 and the church has been fundraising as a priority, to earn enough for the vital work.
Our Spire Appeal recently made the news! ITV Anglia has covered the story of St Wendreda's fundraising efforts, with views inside the church and interviews: click the below button to view (begins at about 7 minutes in):
