REPAIRS TO THE CHURCH ROOF
Every five years our architect carries out a comprehensive survey of the condition of the Church, both inside and out. The last survey was carried out in July 2011.
This highlighted repairs to the Chancel roof that needed doing within one to two years. Whilst the thatch itself on both sides of the Chancel roof should last another fifteen to twenty years, the ridge needs replacing, and the thatch requires repairing, re-dressing and combing and the moss removed.
The cost of this work has been estimated at £29,500.
In January of this year we submitted an application to the Government funded "Listed Places of Worship Roof Repair Fund" for a grant towards the cost of repairing the Chancel roof. We were very pleased to hear towards the end of last month that we had been successful in our bid, and we are to be awarded £24,600. Whilst this is extremely good news, there are other things in the quinquennial report that require attention apart from the roof. These works we are going to have to fund ourselves.
We will therefore be carrying out various fund raising activities during the course of the year, and investigating other sources of funding so that the necessary repairs can be carried out to keep our beautiful old Church in good condition.

Nadfas (National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies) have developed an excellent trail of discovery round St Andrew's Church. Brilliant for visitors with children who need entertaining while parents take in the interesting things to be seen in the church.
Have you counted the rabbits to be seen?
