Church of St Peter and All Saints, Battlesden - Central Bedfordshire (UA)
Medieval church of C13 origin with later additions and alterations. Rubble walls with later brick to both C18 tower and modern parapets. Internal damp; black mould on walls which were only re-limewashed some four years ago. Various possible causes of damp can be identified. The tower has received quite a lot of cementitious patch repairs, which is not a good combination with the soft clunch stone used for construction. The church does suffer from widespread damp and potential solutions and grants need to be explored.
