As you can see from the photograph, the War Memorial has now been re-roofed, using the original tiles. This will provide improved protection from inclement weather and slow down further deterioration of the main structure.We are grateful to our contractors for completing this phase in a timely manner, and to the tireless work of the Rector and PCC in seeking funding.Watch out for Phase Two!
The original tiles have been carefully removed and stacked, ready for re-hanging. Our contractors have made good the damage to the roof structure whilst the weather has been sunny. We expect the tiles to go back on next week.
After months of planning and consultation, we are delighted to announce that our contractors began work on the restoration of our Lych Gate War Memorial for the fallen in both world wars.The War Memorial was built and dedicated soon after the First World War. After the Second World War, an additional panel was added to the rear, commemorating the lives lost in that war. The Memorial has deteriorated slowly over the last 100 years, and suffered a blow from the flagpole that blew over in the gales of 2022, damaging the roof.We will keep you posted with the work as it continues.
