Flint Wall Appeal
The wonderful Grade Two listed north flint wall is showing its age. Built at a time when a horse and cart were the largest vehicles travelling eastwards along the road into the town, the beautiful flint work prevents the graveyard from falling into Western road. Recently a number of flints have dropped out of the wall, thus creating concerns for its safety and solidity. Flint-walling has been recognised as an endangered skill and this wall will be repaired using traditional lime mortar by experienced craftspeople. Currently the estimated cost is £20,000 and is likely to increase. We have therefore decided to set up an appeal. This includes a number of events over the summer months which we hope will enable us to raise enough funds to cover the cost of these essential and urgent repairs.
The appeal was launched on May 9 with ‘This is my story, this is my song’, performed by Philip Griffiths. A wonderful musical and joyful evening was enjoyed. The event raised more than £170
