Kingsbridge Freemasons and Kingsbridge Estuary Rotary Club have donated to the Kingsbridge Town Lands Charity (Feoffees) for the Town Hall and Clock Tower restoration fund.

On Friday, November 22, Jeremy Wilks from Kingsbridge Freemasons and Robert Cattell from Kingsbridge Estuary Rotary met with John Donovan, Chair of the Kingsbridge Feoffees, and representatives from Architects Le Page. Together, they presented two cheques totalling £1,250 to support the restoration of the historic Town Hall in Kingsbridge.

Mr Wilks presented a cheque for £500 on behalf of the Freemasons, while Mr Cattell handed over £750 from the Rotary Club. Both fundraisers were then given a tour of the clock tower to view the progress of the project first-hand.

The restoration project, which aims to preserve this local landmark, is expected to cost around £100,000. Donations from the community will play a vital role in achieving this target.
