Its aims, with the support of The Churches Conservation Trust, include the preservation of the building and the historical and architectural heritage that exists in it. Today, the Friends' main activities are raising funds to heat the building and investing in furnishing and appointing the interior as an arts venue for the community.  They also volunteer as church guides.  With such an important royal residence as Claremont nearby the building has a fascinating history. The Friends are dependent upon the continuing support from local people and others who are sensitive to the vulnerability of our ancient buildings and the need to revitalize them if they are to survive.
