Recent Events
The Plant Sale at the start of June raised a suplus of £450, a nice boost to the funds. We are grateful for the help from the Friends of the Friends of St Georges and so many other villagers who supplied many plants and help on the day.
Jobs completed
We have recently paid for the following::
The church clock repairs, which consisted of replacing a critical brass cog whell that had been responsible for unreliable time-keeping. This is one of the oldest clcoks in Britian, dating back to about 1614, and so, although mostly accurate, temperature and humidity can adversely affect its performance. Please make allowances for the occasional slight inaccuracies!
Future expenditure
A
small leak in the church roof needs to be fixed..
The South slope of the Chancel roof is in need of extensive and expensive repair.
A very detailed repair specification has been produced and is being put out to tender. We will be contributing towrds the cost.
Once again, very many thanks for your help & support..
