With donations during the afternoon and subsequent sponsorship it looks like we raised, through the continuing generous support of the village, an amazing £1,480! With monies received and pledged gifts this now brings our total fund value to £24,649, which is more than half way toward our target of £43,600 excluding servicing of the 200 year old clock mechanism which is a separate job. A very big thank you to all who continue to generously support fund raising for this important part our heritage.

Through the generosity of many villagers and pledged financial support we have so far raised £21,400 against an estimated cost of £50,000.
