Restoring the East Window at
Shimpling
Many of the fine stained glass windows
at Shimpling Church are from the eighteen hundreds although a few
fragments of much older glass remain. However the East window above the
altar which is Victorian and some of the stonework above is in dire need
of repair. The estimate is in the tens of thousands of pounds so any
donation for this purpose would be very gratefully received
Organ refurbishment at Alpheton
Alpheton Church is not only a historic
building, but it is also a link to the people who have lived, worked and
died in the village over hundreds of years. As well as regular running
costs, we often have to find large sums to repair and restore the
church. The organ at Alpheton church is in need of a full 'service'
which is estimated that the maintenance work will cost approximately
£4,000
Donate for Restoration Work
If you are able to make a
contribution it would be very much appreciated. You can do so by any of
the methods above or by cheque - Please let our treasurer Andrew know (
Cracknell451@btinternet.com
) if your donation is for the organ at Alpheton or for the window work
at Shimpling.
