Church Chancel Roof Project - Final Chapter
I am sure many of you will have noted the reports in the parish magazine about the need to do urgent work on the church roof. The work was finished in November to a high standard, and it should mean that no further work will be needed in the foreseeable future. The work cost £30,000 which in many parishes the church community would have had to find. We are, however, blessed in Stratford with a supportive community which values its 12th Century church with its surrounding churchyard.
That support is shown by residents giving talks about various topics and by visiting choirs performing concerts all of which are extremely well attended.
The upshot is that the Friends of St Lawrence have been able to support this crucial work with a grant of over £11,300. This has meant the church finances have just balanced!
Your churchwardens would like to thank the Friends Committee and everyone who has supported them for your amazing support.
