When
we asked villagers for their views on how the church wall
should be completed, only a disappointing 51 voting papers
out of 305 delivered were returned. However, I am pleased
to confirm that the majority wish for the wall to be finished
using the dry stone wall method. (The poll carried out on
this site indicated 81% in favour of the dry stone wall method).
This will match that already rebuilt and the job will then
be complete.
David Blair has successfully negotiated with the Listed Buildings
section of the planning department of Harborough District
Council, and they have no reservations about our intention
to rebuild the remainder of the wall. At its last meeting
the Lubenham Appraisal Steering Committee agreed to fund the
necessary faculty and Trevor has indicated that he will be
available again to complete the works during August.
