VESTRY REPAIRS COMPLETED
The architects, Chedburn Dudley, have issued the Final Certificate for the vestry repairs contract. The total costs, including the heritage project and VAT, totalled £141,207. The P.C.C. is very grateful for the generous grants for the delivery phase of the project (The Heritage Lottery Fund £75,660, The National Churches Trust £10,000, Somerset Churches Trust £3,000, Licensed Places of Worship -VAT refund to Aug.'18-£22,047) and for the many private donations.
The Heritage Consultant, Lottie Collins-Smith, created an exhibition & trail of the history of Newton St Loe and its church. The family trail is aimed at children aged from eight to eleven, accompanied by adults and will occupy them both inside and outside the church.
It is hoped that many will visit the church and enjoy the exhibition and trail and, of course, church services and the peaceful environment of the surrounding conservation village.
