In 2020 our church collapsed. Now we're rebuilding. High Toynton Renewed will focus on conservation, community & sustainability, for the future of our village.
3 years on, our rebuilding project is getting started.

A fantastic Platinum Jubilee garden party held in the village this weekend - welcoming new faces and toasting Her Majesty's remarkable 70-year reign.
Huge thanks to everyone who turned out in the rain to play a part in the organising and catering.
Just some of the amazing murals created by Alison Bell and the rest of the village - unveiled this weekend to raise funds for our church rebuild.
Come & discover 800 years of our village history.

โIts obviously a great shock to see the devastation and a great gaping hole. . . . The fire service did a thorough job and brought in dogs, just to ensure nobody was found."

This stained glass window was feet away from the tower but thankfully it survived Sunday's collapse.
Please give what you can to help us protect it as we start to rebuild - thank you!
