The church has been given a £10,000 grant for critical repairs to protect it from the elements.
Ayr's historic Holy Trinity Church has been given a Christmas cash gift amid fears it will not last another winter.
But the building is now to share in a £871,696 urgent funding payout from the National Churches Trust - with a grant of £10,000 paying for urgent repairs to the sandstone. “Our congregation have been fantastically supportive, and this has allowed us to address many of the most pressing issues. However, in the gales last winter, a section of one of our leaded windows was blown in and it was clear that the stonework needed to be addressed urgently.
The grant will go towards repairing stonework and mortar on the southern face of the church, as well as repairing and replacing rainwater goods across the building. Claire Walker, Chief Executive of the National Churches Trust, said: "The National Churches Trust is delighted to be able to support Ayr Holy Trinity Church to enable them to carry out urgent repairs to their beautiful building. Not only will this protect this important heritage, but it will help to keep the church building open and serving local people."
