| Church Clock Restoration |
Dec 2009 |
Glebe Wardens |
A feasibility study is underway to
establish the cost of restoring the clock face and workings. If the sums
are achievable, then the restoration could be a symbol linking past, present
and future. The work will have to be funded by the 2010 events so as
not to divert money from the Rectory Restoration Fund and other projects.

200 years will be able to see what we did. The pictures will be published
on CD/DVD.

submit their own photos and small prizes awarded for the best, which will
