Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the parish has survived financially in recent years by drawing on its reserves, legacies, and support from charitable funds, a state the Churchwardens describe as not healthy. The parish received a substantial legacy from Philip Cakebread, which has been formally designated to help fund significant development projects. However, the parish notes that it is living in hope that future arrangements will provide growth, as current operating costs are not being met by current generation giving.
