The quinquennial report is a very lengthy and detailed report that examines the state of our church and makes recommendations about the repairs and maintenance needed was published late last year. The repairs recommended have to be completed over the next 5 years and it is estimated that the total cost will be in the region of £94,000. This is a very large amount of money but as a Grade 1 listed Crown Property we are caretakers of an historic building and with that comes the costs.People are hard at work running our regular events ,the pastoral lunch, coffee mornings and social events. The coffee mornings returned to the village hall in October which is a warmer venue during the winter months.Wi Fi has now been installed in church which means we are now able to take card payments. Card donations can be made online using this website.The open garden weekend was a success thanks to good weather that weekend and raised over £10,000. After 3 years of hard work organising this event we are taking a break and at present have not planned a 2026 event.We will be organising other events so please keep up to date by accessing our newsletter (request copy by emailing stpeterscroft@btinternet.com.) or by referring to All Service Dates and Events tabIn September we welcomed our new vicar.
