Update on work on Shipton church’s roof

View from the roof

From the photos you can see the work being carried out on the roof timbers and on the stonework. The contractors are confident the work should be completed by the end of March.

We have now received tenders for the work on the South Aisle roof, the most competitive is around £75k. This is very encouraging as it is less than initially expected. Also, we must not forget that there is more work to be done to the church with the improvements: heating, toilets, server, floor repairs etc. However, we will need to do a lot more fundraising. We are extremely grateful to those who have so generously given already.

If you are able to contribute something to this project please find attached a Gift Aid form.

We are open – how to decide which service to attend at the moment

churches are open for all

We are currently offering a range of Church services -in our buildings, live online and pre-recorded for you to watch whenever you want.

In Church:
Each Sunday there is one Holy Communion service rotating around the Benefice churches. These will be simple said services. Think seriously about attending these services, safety must come first.
