I've recently been advised that new gates for the churchyard, built at considerable expense, of oak, and re-using
the old metalwork, were stolen in their entirety on the night of 26-27 July 2011. Presumably these will be offered for sale elsewhere. Please let me know if you
see these for sale, and I'll pass on the information.
