SUPPORT ST. MARY'S
The spire of St Mary's, Harrow on the Hill, is the highest point in Middlesex: early evening view clear across the City of London to Docklands and beyond. Consecrated in January 1094 by Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury, St Mary's Church requires regular maintenance and upkeeping.
​
A structural survey of the Spire was recently carried out, showing that major renovation work is needed. The work will involve stripping the lead tiles from the Spire, checking the condition of the wooden frame and replacing as required. New lead tiles will then be fitted. The work will require significant scaffolding which accounts for a major part of the cost.​​
The cost of the Spire renovation project was (circa) £600,000, and has now been raised! We thank all those who have supported us so generously. The images below show damaged timbers discovered following the scaffolding that enabled the builders to gain access.
Following the Spire restoration in early 2025, we trust this Harrow landmark will stand tall for centuries to come?
