Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted income was £59,166 against payments of £58,916, resulting in a small net surplus and unrestricted reserves of £51,479. The trustees note that the parish is considerably dependent on rental income to meet essential expenses and face risks regarding energy costs and declining stewardship pledges.
