Refreshments from 7pm email: David.crook15@btinternet if you would like a copy The Church Tower You will all have seen the scaffolding around the tower of the church over the last few weeks. A range of maintenance and repair works have been carried out, which were identified as needed in the five yearly review of the church fabric, carried out by the Diocese. The Clock is freshly restored and renewed, the repairs to the Tower all completed, and it is in good condition for the next decade or more. We are very grateful to the village for its continuous support for fundraising, which has helped build up the church repair fund so that the cost of the current works can be met. Like the Forth Bridge however, maintenance and repair never ends, and we will always need to carry out further works over the coming years. So we will also need to press on with further fundraising to ensure that the repair fund is replenished.
