This appeal from the Parochial Church Council appeared in the February 2007 Froyle Village Magazine.

FROYLE CHURCH 2007

Oh dear, we thought the priority was the gutters, but unfortunately a large crack appeared between the tower and the nave. With scaffolding up the builders found that many of the old bigger roof slates on the nave roof were badly broken and water was getting in. Over the years, a lot of patching has been done but its got beyond that now. So, we need a new roof over the nave. This could cost up to £100,000 and should be done before next winter While the PCC will actively seek funds from various bodies such as English Heritage, we also need to think of other ways of fund raising. We would also like to ask the people of Froyle if they could help maintain the fabric of our historic church by means of donations, covenants and legacies in wills. It’s such a pretty Grade I village church which in one form or another has been there since Domesday! We now have a flourishing Sunday school and we feel we must try and preserve it for our children.

With thanks from Froyle PCC
