Excellent news
Saint Mary’s has been successful in its application for a grant from the Heritage Lottery funding towards the next part of the restoration of the wall paintings and the instillation of electricity, new furniture and some work on the Nave. This work will cost £212,798, the grant comes to £191,500. A further allowance has been promised from the Council for the Care of Churches, together with a further £4,000 from Norfolk County Council. However this still leaves £11,000 to find. Please dig deep as your donations are always most gratefully accepted.
Bob has received an MBE in recognition of his devotion over the last 14 years to the restoration of the church.
Ground to the West of the Church has been reclaimed during 2005, Bob has already been busy planting it up, there was a huge display of daffodils on the bank as you approached the church this spring.
