Since early Spring we have had a leak in the kitchen ceiling.After a failed flat roof system caused more damage we have had a full new flat roof system fitted on the whole south aisle of the church with new 4mm underlays, a new 5mm charcoal sheet and new insulation during August and September 2024.We were awarded a grant of £10710 from the Minor Repairs Grant provided by the National Church to help with the cost. Thank you to Royal Roofing Solutions of Rotherham for doing a great job.
