Church Repairs

Posted on October 6, 2005

Passers-by will have noticed the scaffolding along the south side of the church. Work is in hand to replace the lead covering the Lady Chapel roof, and to investigate a slight sag in one of the beams of that roof.

The estimated cost of this work is over £20,000, and while the Fabric Fund is generously supported by the Carnival each year, we shall have to dip deep into reserves to meet the cost. Of course, if well-wishers would like to contribute towards the cost, the Vicar or the Churchwardens would be delighted to hear from them.

The work should be completed during this month (unless worse problems are revealed when the roof is fully uncovered).
