The 20th Century
Various works of this century have included the provision of a new shaft and cross to the mediaeval cross base in 1925, restoration of the tower in 1949, and internal redecoration in 1960, which included cleaning and repainting the roof bosses, one of which in the south transept depicts an open book with the date 1960. (Sadly this historic fact was painted out by the later decorators!)
The church has remained structurally unchanged. However, it had to be closed in February 1997 for a period of just over two years to allow urgent restoration work to the roof and ceiling. Steel beams and trusses have been inserted into the roof space to take the strain off the existing roof timbers, new timbers have been installed replacing those that were badly decayed, all roof timbers were then treated to prevent further deterioration. General maintenance was carried out including upgrading the heating system and the removal of an old asbestos chimney flue. The cost of the project was £82,000 and the work was carried out by Ellis and Co from Shepton Mallet. 90% of this was paid for by grants from Beacon Environmental the balance being found by the parishioners. St Hubert's was reopened on 6th June 1999.
