THE ST JAMES THE LESS PRESERVATION TRUST 

The charity has repaired and restored the little church of St James the Less, Spring Bank, New Mills, High Peak SK22 4BB, and has converted it into a community arts centre. We have received a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and completed our match funding. Spring Bank Arts opened for business in May 2012. There are continuing regular arts events as well as rooms for hire.
