SAVE ALL SAINTS 
  
the church building is suffering from severe subsidence. 
This has caused some high-level masonry to fall in the south transept 
and cracking of the floor in the Lady Chapel. Both are out-of-bounds. 
There is a risk for falling masonry on the outside of the church and  
an Exclusion Zone has been implemente, with the agreement of the Diocese 
of London and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. 
  
We first applied to RBKC for permission on 3 March. Scaffolding will  
soon be put up around the south transept to support the structure.  
The cost of securing these risky areas of the church is nearly £100K  
for the next six months. This is not the cost of the actual repairs, 
which will run into £100Ks. There will be later phases of restoration  
on the subsidence. These will require a thorough digital survey 
of the church so we understand the church in the fullest way. 
It is likely that the tower will also need restoration. 
  
The cause of the subsidence is likely to be the underlying London clay 
and the large trees that are close to the building causing movement 
in the subsoil. The church received direct hits from bombs in the  
Second War and the building materials used in the 1950s restoration may  
not have been of the best quality given limited supplies at that time. 
  
As a Church and community, we need to unite around Save All Saints  
for the present and the future. It's been here for us since 1852, and  
now we need to be here for it so that we are passing it on to future generations. 
  
As we develop this project updates will be available on the church website.  
Designated Donations stated to SAVE ALL SAINTS and offers  
of help very gladly received. We need to raise some millions of pounds – but  
as we know All Saints is priceless and worth it.
