Christmas cards sold in aid of St Mary's Church Roof

The South Aisle roof of St Mary's Church is a very fine wooden structure. To keep it in good condition it is covered with lead sheeting to keep it dry. Unfortunately this sheeting has become very thin and in spite of lots of patching over recent years, it has now become clear that it needs to be completely replaced. Any wood which is found to be damaged during the work will be renewed at the same time. The cost will be £50,000 + vat. Some of this cost will be covered by grants but most of it will need to be raised by the good people of Charlbury. Please help to keep our beautiful historical church safe and sound for future generations.  

Christmas cards are on sale to help this cause.  Available at the Charity Card Sale in the Memorial Hall tomorrow (Saturday 14 November 10-12) or maureensparling@gmail.com
