Annual Report to December 2021 Gretton Tower Trust Charity No: 1166722
Objectives and activities
The objectives and activities of the Trust relate to the conservation of Gretton Tower (a Grade 2 listed building and associated remains of St Phillip's Chapel of Ease which is a scheduled ancient monument) and returning it to use. The Tower was in a poor state of repair which precluded its use by village organisations.
Objectives:
To conserve and maintain Gretton Tower and its grounds for the benefit of the people of Gretton and visitors to the village by:
-
conducting a structural survey and carrying out necessary repairs to ensure the integrity of the tower;
-
clearing and repairing the grounds;
-
establishing a long term management programme;
-
maintaining access for village residents and visitors; and
-
integrating use of the tower into village events and festivals.
Activities:
Following the co-funding of repairs to the Tower, under the supervision of the Diocesan surveyor, by the Trust and Diocese of Gloucester in 2020, documents for the transfer of the Tower to the Trust were completed and ownership transferred from 1 January 2021.
Fundraising continued to be difficult because of the second year of the Covid pandemic which has meant that improvements to the ancient monument remain tasks for future years. However decisions have been made to maintain the grounds so that naturally occurring wildflowers can flourish (contributing to a village wide initiative), to improve access, and provide informational materials as soon as finances permit.
Public Benefit:
The approach to maintenance of the grounds has halted further deterioration of the ancient monument, and increased their attractiveness. This has allowed the site to be accessible to walkers and for use by the village school. The Tower Trust participated in the annual village Christmas celebrations illuminating the Tower with a floodlight and decorating it with candles, drawing in many local residents. The Gretton Tower website contains historical and other informational materials. Trustees have regard to the Charity Commissioners guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and performance
The repair of the Tower to conserve it for future generations and the conclusion of negotiations for the transfer to the Trust marks the achievement of the first milestone for our planned responsibility for the site. The pandemic however has seriously limited fundraising and has substantially delayed plans for the next phase.
Financial review
A financial statement to the end of December 2020 is supplied.
