The hall Is regularly used for atttvtties such as our Tuesday Lunch Club, coffee mornings. and our Harvest Supper,. and is maintained as a friendly and well-kept venue for diverse activilies. In order to facilitate our work, it is very important that we matntain the fabric ol the church of St Lawrence, and ensure that the Community Hall and the churchyard are well kept. It should be noted that the maiatenance of our fabric is part of the public benefit that we provide, as a piece of religious testimonyset in stone and glass, and through the public amenity prowded byourgrade 2 listed ehurch (with Its 15th Century font good collèction of 19th-20th century Stained glass, and historic Denman plpe or8anl and by our churchyard la large part of which is a scheduled anaent monument and which contains a grade I listed rernnant of the rnedieyal church of 5t Lawrence) visually. as a venue. and as a heritage asset of the community and our natioTr. But beyond fabric, we remember our much wider though less Obvious tangible mission. We value our strong connection wr(h our parlsh. and the wide range of people for whtsm St Lawrence ftsrms an important part of their lives, even if they are not with u5 in church every Sunday. In this re8ard, we should perhaps particularly note our strong commitment to our links with local schoo15, and hope to seethis Ilnk strengthened in future.

Alongside the re8ular rhythm of worship and parish life, considerable work has been undertaken to care for the church buildin8 and its surroundings, ensuringthat thls hlstorlc place of worship continues to serve both the parish and the wlder community. A number of important fabric works were completed durlng the year- The whole of the church drNe- way and the west end car park were re5Urfed by P&T Contracts of Dunnington. greatly improving both access and appearance. The path leading to the east 8ate was reinstated, and a sertion of the southernmost part of the east boundary wall was carefully rebuilt. complete with new railin8s. The gate plllars were a150 rebuilt and the gate rehung. Further improvements We made to the church building itself.

A new stone threshold was installèd at the main entrance to the church. Outside the church hall, the flagstones were lifted. reset. and the oints repointed.

The choir vestries were modi- fied to provlde addStlonal space for ca550th5 and sheet music, helping to support the important musl- cal life of the parish. The Quinquennial inspection port was recelved from our Architect, Andrew BOY which hi8hll8hted that fuiure work to the slate roofs will be required. One of the most significant projects of the year was the removal of the large Joan Fulleylove window, which commemorates Lt Robert Harpley. for major conservation by Barley Studios. The restored win- dow wa5 returned and reinstalled just before Christmas. A special service of rededication is planned for 21 March 2026. Public worship continues to be offered faithfvlly at St Lawrence. Partlcular attention is given to the qualty of Music and liturgy. and tothe depth of spirituality offered bythe Book of Common Prayer and the cathollc tradition of the Church of England. Festival High Masses. together with the services of Holy Week and Christmas, have continued io de- velop and attract strong attendance. Half-termly services for local schools have a150 been maintained, providing an important connection between the church and the younger members of the community. Duringthe autumn temi, a successful serles of guest preachers took placè at Choral Evensong. Several of these servlces attracted congrègations of over one hundred people, demonstrating the continued appeal of this tradition of worshlp. The parish c<)rnmunity experienced a significant loss in October with the death of tsur Lay Reader, Mr Clive Herbertjackson. His funeral. held on 7 November. wa5 very well attended and reflected the deep appreciatiors and affection in which he wa5 held. During the year the parish advertised for a new parish prlest. InteNiews were held in Novernber, but an appointment was not made. The wst will therefore be re-advertlsed early in the new year. Two excellent promotional vldeos about 5t Lawrentr wère produced during the year by Henry Dyer. These projects were made possible with financial support from the Lady Peel Trust and pr¢)vide a val- uable resour for sharing the story and life of the church with a wider audien.
The Parochlal Church Council of the Eccleslastical Parfsh of St Lawrence wlth St Nl¢holas York Trustees, Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2025 The church continues to serve as an important venue for cultural and musical events. Ovring 2025 the building hosted perforrnances and events or8anised by the Ryedale Festival, the York Early Music Fes- tlval, York Muslcal Society. and the Yorkshire Bach Choir.

FInala1 Revlew The total fijnds show a decrease of £127.383 from £232.008 at 31 Decernber 2024 to £104.625 at 31 December 2025. In 2024 the Church received a legacy of £160.577 which led to a significant surplus of £216.836 bein8 generated in the year to 31 December 2024. In line with the wishes of the donor the members designated this money for church fabric repair5 and £107,073 has been spent during the year. This year again we were fortunate that collections and planned giving held up well, wSth gifts made directly through the banking System and people giving donations when attending chureh service5. Thank you to everyone who supports the parish through regular and generous monthly giving. Additional grants were also recefved forVaOuS prolects undertaken durlngthe year Including the restoration ofthe WWI memorial window. Reserves As at 310ecember 2025 the church's undesignated funds was retorded as £23.74912024.. £22,745.) Unrestrfcred funds are limited and are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. In view of that, the PCC is re-establishin8 a reserves policy. nanclal prospects and future plans The members of the PCC regularty revlew the parish's financial positlon and maIn mindful of thèir obligations to aSSè5s and report on the charity's finarbcial pr05pect5. Attendance has remained siablethroughout 2025. and the PCC belleves that the parish hs in a stronger position than it has been for manyyears. Overthe past decade the church has undergone a signifieant transformation.. from 8 building that was at one time largely unusable and faced an uncertain future, it has become a we51-maintained and valued community asset. The extensive programme of repairs and improvements undertaken in recent years means that the scale and cost of essential fabric Mainterlan are now steadily reducing. This position has been furthèr strengthened by investment made possible through the le8ary of the late Darrell Buttery,

As a result, the PCC anticipate5 that expenditure on major maintenance will decrease considerably in the coming years. The success tsf the CAMRA beer festival has also demonstrated thatthe buildingtan be used creative for a variety of purposes which both generate income and place the church at the heart of the wider ommunity. The PCC continues to encourage mernber5 of the congregation to join the Parish Glving Scheme IPGSI. which has greatly simplified the claimirtg of Glft Ald. Use of the scheme has cgntinued to grow throughout 2025 and it Is now the princlpèl mechanism for regular giving to the parish. Taken together. thèse development5 have placed the PCC in a sSgnificantty stronger financial p051ti¢)n than in previovs years and better equSpped to pursue its charitable aims. Accordin8ly, the PCC believes there is no reason to doubt the parish's ability to continue as a going concern. The accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concem basis, and PCC members are confident that the charity remains. and will continue to remain. financially sustainable. Looking ahead. a number of practical improvement5 are planned. These include enhancing signage around the church and churchyard, and pro8ressin8 the churchyard rejuvenation project for the footprint of the old church using the legacy of the late Martin Marsh. It is also hoped to replace the existing window guards and to introduce trees and shrubs alon8 the west boundary in order to soften the appearance of the adjacent buildings. The PCC is a150 exploring the posslbility of developing a link with Pusey House in Oxford. In recent years Pusey House has experienced a renewal similar to that of St Lawrence, and as both institutions share a similar tradition of churchmanship, both boards of trustees believe thatthere may be benefit in lormin8 a relationship of mutual support and encouragement. Finally.the Pccwill be consideringwaysto Sncreasethe pari5h'5 contributionto the Diocesan Common Fund and will be working towards a financial plan that enables the parish to meet the full c05t5 associated with stipendiary ministry in the future.
