Efforts are under way to raise £40,000 to restore an "ornate ceiling" at a church that was destroyed during the Second World War when an RAF bomber crashed into it.
Members of a church in Bawdeswell, near Dereham, are keen to save their beloved place of worship from "disintegrating" after leaks in the ceiling have left it damaged.
Ken Ewing, lay chairman of the parochial church council, is part of efforts to raise £40,000 to repair the ceiling before the damage becomes more costly.
So far, almost half of the overall cost has been raised through donations but members still have a way to go.
Historically, the church has been subject to a number of rebuilds with the first dating back to 1739 when the tower collapsed.
Then, in November 1944, an RAF Mosquito returning from a raid in Germany crashed into and destroyed the building, which was then rebuilt in 1952.
Mr Ewing said: "The church is unique in this way because it is believed it was the only one in England that was destroyed by an aircraft."
Mr Ewing said: "The felt and battens have now deteriorated and have to be replaced to save the roof and building."
To raise the money, the group will be applying for grants but is also relying on further donations and fundraising ideas.
The efforts come after the village raised £60,000 to repair Bawdeswell's village hall, which was also subject to leaks.
Mr Ewing is concerned that if they do not act quickly, they run the risk of future leaks causing more damage to the church, which could spread to the rest of the building.
He said: "We've got to look after our heritage.
"If we leave it much longer, we will definitely have another leak and if the ceiling gets damaged again, we'll have to put up scaffolding and the price of the repairs will be much more expensive."
