In order to fundraise, Diann began a small second-hand goods sale at the church in 2020, which has now grown into a weekly event in a large, well-stocked barn.
The twice-weekly sales, on a Wednesday and Saturday, raise about £1,000 a week for the restoration.
Diann said she splits her time equally between fundraising for the church and working on the farm, until it comes to harvest time.
She said it took “18 whole days” to empty and wash the barn before 200 tonnes of wheat could be stored in it, so this year they are changing their farming practices to continue fundraising.
By using a grain storage facility elsewhere, she said it would allow her and the volunteers to “just keep going and keep letting more customers in”.
The fundraising sale’s popularity has grown alongside a social media page, where the new goods are advertised.
Diane said: “There are 1,650 followers that have the same passion as what I do.
“And when they visit the church, they come and tell me that they experience the same feelings as what I do when I sit in there and, you know, find peace.”
