The dangerously leaning tower and steeple were rebuilt and made safe using a grant from English Heritage / HLF. The octagonal tower and steeple were dismantled and rebuilt. Every stone was carved with a new code number on its upper face to ensure it went back in the correct place. Repairs were carried out to cracked sections and spalled faces. New concrete foundations were constructed below the tower walls and piles were jacked into the ground to enable a secure base for the rebuilding.
