We are delighted that the Heritage Lottery Fund has agreed to largely fund urgent work on the church tower. FOSMA are already working hard to show our support as a community for this project with assistance from the grants that the PCC has in hand. The following work will begin next spring.
Erection of scaffolding to all four sides of the Tower to allow for masonry repairs, with a hoarding at the base. The work is to include rebuilding of the badly damaged eastern parapet and re-leading the parapet gutters, as well as isolated replacement stonework, piece repairs, repointing, repairs to the belfry louvres and replace two gargoyles. A conservator will carry out careful repairs to the carved cornice frieze. The downpipes will be overhauled and isolated glazing repairs carried out. Mission Rescue – Summer Holiday Club Funday will be between 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. There will be an action-packed fun-day in the church for any children aged between 4 and 11. We’ll get stuck in to messy crafts, lots of games and gripping stories about rescue missions in the past and today. To register, please collect a form from the school reception or the church, or contact Sarah Duffy on 816557 (forms will be available from mid-June).
We really need helpers with the club – all it involves is supervising small groups of children and helping them with crafts and games – it’s great fun whether you’re a parent or a teenager! If you would like to get involved, please contact Sarah Duffy on sarah_diggle@hotmail.com |
