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.

A donation into the offertory box just inside the south door would of course be much appreciated.
