Parish updates
The tombs in the Churchyard have now been fully restored. I will be putting the remaining photos in the folder in the church in the next week so you can see all the stages of each tomb during its restoration. The next stage is having an information lectern installed so the project can be shown for anyone visiting etc. Once again this project has only been possible due to the grant recieved through The National Heritage Lottery Fund.
Another large project about to start is installing an air source heat pump into the Pavilion to upgrade the heating the water system. Another grant has been awarded for part of this with other costs coming from hire costs and budget saved over the years. Hopefully once this has been completed the Parish Council can look at upgrading the kitchen facilities.
The next Parish Council meeting will be on Monday 20th January at 7.30pm in the Village Hall. All are welcome to attend, there is a public 10minutes at the beginning of the meeting if you wish to address the council, after which you are welcome to stay and observe the remaining of the meeting.
