DESCRIPTION:During October St Mary’s Church is making its annual appeal 
 to the wider village community for help in meeting its insurance costs for
  the year. This\, with the roof alarm\, is now approximately £5\,000 p.a.
 \, i.e. beyond what is realistically feasible for the regular congregation
  on their own. No funding is available for this from the central Church of
  England or the Government.\n\nThe village and friends of the Church have 
 been generous in helping with this\, in recent years\, though we are only 
 too aware of the financial difficulties that many currently face. It is an
  important village asset with broader benefits to us all\, at the centre o
 f one of the best-known village scenes in the country. Most of us would li
 ke to see this maintained for future generations and we hope you will feel
  able to help\, especially in view of its Grade 1 listing\, considerable h
 istory and broader use. \n\nGift Day envelopes can be brought to the Churc
 h between 10.00 and 16.00 on Saturday 18th October\, where people will be 
 ready to welcome you and receive them. The alternatives are\; to use the g
