A historic church which served the community for more than 700 years could be brought back to its former glory under new proposals.
The old church of St Runius in Crosby requires significant renovation following years of limited maintenance.
According to planning documents, the building is now suffering from damp issues, with heavy green growth visible on interior walls and deteriorating stonework on exterior elevations.
The church, which sits on an ancient keeil site, served as Marown’s parish church until the 1850s.
Following a restoration in the mid-20th century, services were held regularly for many years and while those have declined, the church remains popular with visitors.
Proposed works include raking out existing cementitious mortar from the stonework on west and south-facing walls and re-pointing with lime mortar.
A drainage channel would be installed against north and west-facing walls to intercept water running towards the building, connected to a soakaway in an area of the graveyard without graves.
Church warden Dr Rosemary Gibson has submitted the application which can be viewed here.
