Roof Repairs
We are delighted to report that, despite the recent never-ending rain, the roofing repairs to the chancel and vestry roofs of St Mary’s are now complete. A few months ago, we were really struggling to assess how our fundraising efforts and reserves could stretch to covering the roof repairs as well as other recent expenses for major repair bills for the organ, electrical work, and central heating.

Roof Repairs have started at St Mary’s – Autumn 2025
As many of you will have seen, scaffolding has been erected around St Mary’s Church, Micheldever. We would like to tell you what is happening….. The roof of the chancel (built circa 1880) is covered in very large format slates which are beautiful, but extremely uneven. A recent survey showed that some of the slates have slipped out of line, probably due to the sheer weight of the individual slates. A closer inspection with a roofing specialist revealed that the wooden battens
