Following storm damage 4 years ago, the PCC  began investigating how best to restore the lovely Lychgate at St. Giles.   Unfortunately the structure needs extensive repair  (the result of many years 'wear & tear' as well as the storm), which will entail removing the roof, reinstating support beams and then replacing the timbers and slates.   The stonework also requires masonry repairs, and the actual gates need a total overhaul.

The work is going to cost about £30,000 and whilst we've raised a lot (about £23,000), we're still fundraising.   We also hope to hear shortly about 2 grant applications.  

Our next fundraising event is our Christmas Fair on Sat 30 November... do come along if you can to the village hall in Little Torrington for Christmas refreshments and gift stalls.     Any donation will be very gratefully received.
