As you know, the past few months has seen a huge amount of rain and we have noticed that the temporary roof is simply not keeping the water out and what lead we have left on the roof is failing. There are at least ten major leaks, causing a lot of damage to wood, beams, stone, plaster and paintwork. We are needing to raise nearly £500,000 to repair and restore our beautiful church.What can you do to help?Here are a few things you can do to help YOUR local church• Visit the church (open daily) and admire the beauty and history.• Let us know if you or your contacts have any experience in applying for Lottery funding.• Attend an event. There are lots of fundraisers throughout the year – the Christmas Bazaar is coming up!Donate towards the upkeep of your local church: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/pulham-st-mary-church-appeal
