Village church fundraiser for Lottery bid
Lord Patrick Cormack was guest speaker at a dinner at Belton Park Golf Club held to raise match funding for a Heritage Lottery bid to make urgent repairs to St Denys' Church roof and spire in Aswarby. Last week thieves stole three tons of lead from the church roof as well.
