In the thirty years to 2022 the Friends have raised over £400,000 in fundraising and grants. Some of the early work in the 1990s was literally to keep the church standing: structural repairs to the roof beams in the nave, repairs to the South and East buttresses, leadwork on the roof, and internal repairs to the tower.
Since then, projects have included:
- The floodlighting of the church in 2000
- Refurbishment of the Church Bells in 2004
- Installing a kitchen and toilet in 2006
- Creation of the Bellringing platform in 2007
- Repairs to the Clerestory windows in 2008
- In the 2010s it was replacement of eroded blocks on the South Wall and in 2013 renovation of the plaster and stonework in the Lady Chapel.
- Repairs to the Churchyard wall in 2014 and 2016
- Security installed to protect the roof from theft – 2015 and 2017
