27-mile Ride + Stride for Tortington!

Massive thanks and congrats to long-distance Ride + Strider John Morrison who braved inclement weather and some very steep hills to cycle 27 miles last September raising £615. split equally between Tortington Church and the Sussex Historic Churches Trust. A magnificent feat!

John wrote a fantastic write-up of his adventure which took in visits to Binstead and Madehurst churches - both of which have received grants from the Trust in recent years to fund repairs. Binstead was granted £5,000 to cover the entire bell tower in wooden shingles. Madehurst received £5,000 to carry out important and extensive restoration work dealing with rotten nails and broken tiles.
