During 2 attacks in 2011 – thieves stole a large quantity of lead and also a section of the copper lightning conductor! In 2014 there was a further attack when the lead over the Meeting Room area was stripped – allowing the rain to pour in on Palm Sunday (despite new

roof alarm)!

The temporary roof covering of plastic sheeting was fitted to protect the roof

  • timbers. It kept most of the rain out but

a full repair was urgently needed!

Lead v Steel: Lead – still the main roofing material can last for up to 200 years. It is very heavy at 5 or 6 mm thick. The scrap value of lead in 2011 peaked at £1100 per tonne. 2014 £950. 2015 £900. 2016 £800. Terne Coated steel - is much lighter at

  • nly 0.5mm thick. Once applied very

difficult to remove. A much less valuable target to thieves! Life of 50-70 yrs estimated.

The Future: The roof works indicated that the remaining lead will eventually need replacing! Some lead patching work at lower level was done, along with a timber repair under meeting Room roof.

Quinquennial Report recommendations include:

  • Belfry Tower louvres need repairs and

remeshing.

  • Better church access ramps
  • Re-pointing works – entrance & boundary walls
  • Etc etc. etc.
