default

In 2010 thieves stole some of the lead from the North Aisle roof necessitating temporary repairs. Alternative materials (hopefully less attractive to thieves) have been found and planning consents obtained from English Heritage, but the work itself will cost some £26,500. There is no magic government fund to pay for this, so the money can only be raised through the community.

Raise the Roof

The appeal to raise the £26,500 to pay for the repairs was launched in March 2013 and has so far raised a total of £11,089 from the various events listed below

General Funds Raised £5618
Sponsored Walk £2650
Bingo Night £750
Coffee Morning £836
Concert £134
Quix £262
Smartie Box Collection £556 ongoing
James Book Sale £181 (after costs-more books on order)
Cream Teas £102

We hope to start work by end August so we still have some distance to go
