In 2023, starting in June, our 15th century church of All Saints began the process of rethatching. It was last rethatched in Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation Year in 1953, and previous to that in 1883. So both times the thatch has lasted 70 years!Thank you to everybody who has supported this project. The new roof looks magnificent!
