Churchyard – Wood available for logs

Sadly one of the row of four lime trees in the Churchyard was recently identified as being seriously diseased with a fungus and so possibly dangerous. As a result it was felled this week. There is now a large stack of wood in the corner behind the Old School. It is in manageable lengths for anyone who wishes to collect it for further splitting and cutting down further into logs. A donation into the offertory box just inside the south door would of course be much appreciated.
