A complete restoration of the Church was undertaken by the vicar, Rev G.B.Ince, helped by the 1st Sutton and Shopland Troop Boy Scouts. No grants were applied for. The old box pews were removed and replaced by what critics described as ‘very common wooden chairs’. The brass Lectern donated by Frederick Thackeray was placed in the tool shed and a ‘common worm eaten one’ was put in its place. The entire Church was refloored, replastered and white washed
