Close up showing damage to the North porch (armoury) and Nave roofs in urgent need of repair.

Update: The Architect's Quinquennial Inspection has revealed some splits in the lead on the nave and north porch roofs, as well as some other urgent work. The north porch houses the unique armoury and it is vital that funds are raised as quickly as possible to prevent rainwater seeping in and potentially spoiling the armour.
The Friends of St Mary's are doing their best to arrange as many fundraising events as possible. Please help with this urgent work!
