Dear All,

We have finally installed the last two benches on The Lines which were funded by the Co-op community project.

All of you who selected us as your charity, it really works! This project has taken some time due to manpower, the weather and Covid of course. But I am sure that these benches will be used as often as those at the Greenmount end.

Many thanks to Tim Martin from Martins Countryside Contracting Ltd for the installation of these last two benches.

Our next seating project is replacing the picnic benches on the playground.

Kind regards,

Julie Southworth

You will probably have noticed that the church spire, the village landmark, was encased in scaffolding for a few months while contractors worked on it. After 156 years, inspection revealed that the spire and tower needed total repointing. The spire takes a battering from the rain and wind as it stands high above the village. Immediate action was required if the work was to be completed this year. The spire is a listed building so the repointing had to be done using lime mortar which can only be used when there is no risk of frost.

The cost of the work is substantial because of the complexity of scaffolding the spire plus the amount of pointing required. The cost totaled £100,000.

We are now fundraising. We had been expecting to repoint the back of the church this year and had budgeted for that. The spire repointing was not anticipated and so we need to raise funds.

We hope you might be able to help us in the repair of this village landmark.
