St Faith’s Church, Kilsby
We are a small but welcoming community in the Northamptonshire village of Kilsby. There has been a church in Kilsby since the 12th century
and the present medieval stone building still stands to serve the village.
We are part of the Benefice of Barby with Kilsby in the
Diocese of Peterborough.

Kilsby Church 100 Club
In July 1999 the Kilsby Church 100 Club was launched in response to an inspection which found that work was needed to repair the roof and stonework of our village church.
Since then, the 100 Club has continued to support the upkeep of the church by donating an average of just over £2000 per year over the past 5 years. I would like to say a huge 'Thank You' to all of you who have continued your membership of the 100 Club even though some of you are still waiting for an envelope to drop through your letter box with your winnings! Unfortunately, membership has declined recently due to a number of factors, and the 100 Club can boast only two thirds membership.
I would like to invite you, regardless of your individual beliefs, to take part in supporting our local heritage, which I am sure is of interest to us all, by becoming a member of the Kilsby Church 100 Club and helping to maintain the village church.
Draws take place on the last Thursday of the month at the village café at the Chapel.
The cost of membership is £60 per year, which works out at £5 per month. Payment can be made annually, half yearly, quarterly or monthly, the choice is yours.
For more information on how to join, please call me on 07912 016809, or (01788) 823246 and I'll be happy to talk to you.
Many thanks,
Lorna Griffiths
