This building is within the Chester Conservation area and within the city walls. The local council spend millions on vanity projects but if this building were to be lost then it's gone forever.

Over the years I have visited this little church when it was used for exhibitions and various purposes. It would be excellent if it were to be a Viking centre

It is important that Chester preserves this Church as it is a big part of of Cheshire's History. It shaped the land and its people and in 2017 remains where found in Norway of the Saint Olaf. It is also on the main walkway of the tourists and potentially can be used as a community venture and create extra revenue for the city.

I believe that we should not let buildings like this go to ruin and not be saved

For a city dependent on tourism, this is a no brainer

As a newfound enthusiast of Nordic culture, I believe it is vital to preserve such a location as it is both historically significant and beneficial to Chester's Viking heritage focus!

Anything that advances the cause of heritage in Chester is a good idea. The best of luck to Viking Chester in their campaign.

This building is an essential part of Chester's history. The Viking history of Chester and Wirral is sadly neglected

As something of a history buff, a reenactor wannabe and a resident of Chester for most of my life, I strongly support this bid.

Poor state is such a shame. It deserves to be restored and to add to Chesters historical wealth.
