Friends of St Piran’s Churchyard February 2019 Report 5
Friends of St Piran’s Churchyard are a hardy bunch. Although the heavy snow from the week had gone, the day started with flurries of snow and sleet. However, this did not deter folks and over 12 people helped to consolidate the work that had already been done. Collecting up the debris from previous endeavours and removing the fallen material that had come down in last weekend’s strong winds
Refreshments were provided by Jean, Mary and Christine who had the hot dogs, sausage rolls, cake and drinks on offer.
A large bonfire has once again formed from the work and this will be dealt with later when the weather warms up again. Although there are plenty of signs of spring in the churchyard as the early spring blooms are beginning to brighten the place up. Photos on right
The next working party will be a week later on March 9th 10-2, as the church will be hosting the annual Cross of St Piran’s awards for the Diocese of Truro, the previous weekend.
I have received a quotation for the repair of some of the more architecturally significant monuments, but as they start at around £150 per memorial, I think this will at present remain on our wish list for the future.
We have also now got a bank account sorted out, so we are now able to take donations to assist in the ongoing work on the churchyard. If you would like details of how to make a donation please contact Anne on 01872 572 654.
Thanks to all involved – your hard work is making massive difference to this wonderful space. I have received many words of encouragement from folks all saying how wonderful it is looking.
