Other receipts were from collections and events and we are particularly grateful for the very many individual donations from the parish and further afield.   If you are interested to see the story of the fund raising campaign, please visit the Church and have a look at the display board.

  A Thanksgiving Service was held in church in September at which Bishop Michael gave thanks for the speedy restoration of the spire and for the many donations and grants received. The Deputy Mayor of Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council also attended to present a plaque.

 A final thank you to the Fund Raising Committee led

very enthusiastically by John Turner for without them this project could not have been completed.
