raising money to fix the roof of Edmondthorpe Church · 13 February 2020

We are the national charity protecting churches at risk. We care for the churches vested in us by the Church Commissioners of the Church of England, repairing the damage from sometimes years of neglect, and work with local communities to bring them and their stories back to life.

Story

Storm Ciara has caused severe damage to St Michael and All Angels, Edmondthorpe, Leicestershire, lifting the roof away and exposing the interior and organ to the elements.

 The roof was only meant as a temporary measure, after a series of repeated lead thefts at the church.

The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building and the tower dates from the 13th century.

Edmondthorpe Church means a lot to our family and the people of Edmondthorpe and surrounding villages, so we would like to raise funds to at least get a temporary roof installed.

Due to repeated lead thefts at other churches under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, they face bills of over £2 million, so it is unlikely that Edmondthorpe church will have a permanent restoration any time soon, but this would be a start.
