URGENT REPAIRS: You may have noticed the dampness coming through the stonework over the confessional. This week the architect has examined the valley guttering and has reported that the lead has split in several places and urgently needs replacing. As yet we do not have an estimate but we have been warned that the cost will run into many thousands. Would you consider increasing your contribution for the upkeep of the parish or joining the Gift Aid system if you are not already on it?
