Celebrating new heating with pancakes
St Botolph’s Church had been closed temporarily while a new heating system was installed into the building to replace the one damaged in the 2013 floods.
Since the reopening took place on Shrove Tuesday, volunteers and visitors to The Stump were able to celebrate with free pancakes - including one specially made for the day called the Pilgrim Pancake.

“Our thanks go to all those who have helped come in and clean up and make the building beautiful again.”
The church is waiting for news of a bid for funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) which will help it make more improvements, includeing interactive features on the history of the church and its place in the town.
