Children and staff from the Sulhampstead and Ufton Nervet CE Primary School sign tiles for the church roof.
A GENEROUS grant from Ufton Nervet Fuel Allotment Charity, as well as gifts from local people and the Greenham Common Trust, has seen a new roof installed at St Mary's, Sulhampstead in Berkshire. Hundreds of handmade tiles were signed by parishioners, schoolchildren, wedding couples, baptised babies (or their parents), or just those passing by.
The roof was blessed by the Rt Revd Andrew Proud, the Bishop of Reading, from the vantage point of scaffolding.
Bishop Andrew said: "The church looks fantastic, and is a visible sign for all to see, of a vibrant Christian presence in this part of Berkshire.
The roof will shelter our Christian family for years to come. "
