Dry rot
There is an area at the back of church which is being investigated for dry rot. This has been fenced off, but the area outside of it is perfectly safe. Many thanks go to Carl for acting switfly on the discovery of the dry rot. Once a clearer picture is known we will inform the congregation of the extent.
