The recent wet weather has heralded the arrival of autumn after a lovely Indian summer. This means the buckets in the church are being emptied even more regularly and our volunteers are keeping an eye out for any new leaks. It’s not just the damage to the areas the rain might drip onto we are concerned about but the damage the damp atmosphere causes. All Saints was built to be beautiful and to achieve that the stonemasons needed to use soft stone which could be intricately carved. Unfortunately this also makes it susceptible to damp conditions and many of the finer carvings are simply crumbling away as the photo shows. In honour of the church’s dedication our Annual Gift Day Coffee Morning is held as near as possible to All Saints Day, the 1st November. This year it will be Saturday 29th October, at the Old Vicarage from 10:30am onwards. Please do come along and help us raise money for the much needed repairs at All Saints.
