Church of St Helen, Fish Street, Worcester - Worcester

Although its foundation predates that of the Anglo Saxon Diocese of c675, the church of St Helen dates primarily from C15 and consists of a nave and chancel with aisles, a south porch and a west tower. The presence of iron cramps in conjunction with the red sandstone used for rebuilding in the C19 is causing accelerated deterioration and failure of the facework. A limited scheme of high level masonry repairs funded by a National Lottery Heritage Fund Grant for Places of Worship was completed in 2019 but masonry repairs to the south aisle and lowest stage of the tower remain to be attended to.
