Badingham Community Council were very pleased to present a cheque for £1000 to Revd Martin Percival for the church roof fund. The BCC raises funds to support causes that benefit the local community.

The church roof is a fine example of a single hammer-beam roof. It is the same design as that used in Westminster Hall seen recently during the Queen’s Lying-in-State. Sadly it is in need of repair and already a lot of money has been spent on the initial investigations and the large amounts of scaffolding required to support the roof.

BCC Chairman Duncan Horrocks (pictured centre with Revd Martin) said: “It’s a drop in the ocean compared to the amount you need but we hope at least it can help towards the cost of the scaffolding.”

Revd Martin, who is Priest in Charge of the Upper Alde Benefice, received the cheque on behalf of the church.
