Highlights of the past year

A dedication by Bishop Lee of Swindon in October 2009 to celebrate a £20,000 project to repair and renew the 1891 South Porch .

This is part of our `keep the building safe for the future` project

-.We have

                      :-1) removed the old iron work-which was cracking the walls

                        2) re-roofed the porch

                         3) stabilised the pinnacles and decorative stonework

 A Grant from theThomas Freke and Lady Norton Charity enabled us to pay for this      -we are very grateful to the trustees
