Those of you in the village will have noticed that the scaffolding has now gone up on the Church. This has been sheeted for weather protection and there is also some scaffolding inside the building on the nave wall. The architect will now be able to come back and have a closer inspection of the affected area and reappraise the works that will need doing.

We have continued to be very lucky with fundraising with donations coming in from the village and outside the village. The current total as at 15.4.12 for the repair fund stands at £4,629.59 which is really good. The "Spring into Action" event held on 14.4.12 contributed over £500.00 to this total. This was a poetry, prose and song evening organised and set up by Martin and Mel Franks who used their contacts and persuasion to enable us to listen to poetry and prose read by Susan Jameson and Alan Mc Mahon and songs by Charlotte Woodman. The evening was really enjoyed by the 60plus people that attended.

We have also been incredibly lucky to receive a donation to specifically cover the scaffolding costs from Jennifer Fullard. Jennifer has ancestral links with the village and obviously in particular Fullard's Farm and we are very grateful to her. (These scaffolding costs can not qualify for any grant applications as the grant bodies do not provide funding for works retrospectively).
