For more than 700 years, the parish church of St Eustace has kept a commanding watch over the village of Ibberton. For the past three years, the village of Ibberton, which has a population of just 110, has been working to save the church, liaising with structural engineers and architects to devise a solution. From May to December 2024, the village undertook a major fundraising campaign, raising more than £100,000 for essential works to stabilise the church. The works began in early 2025, and the stabilisation of the church has now been completed. "Through their work, they have saved this focal point of their community for this and future generations."
