Lead Theft Alert

Churches are being encouraged to check their security arrangements following lead thefts in the south of the diocese.

Lead downpipes were stolen from Bunny St Mary this week, and there was a similar incident at Ratcliffe on Soar. Just over the border in Leicestershire, lead was taken from the roof of Knipton church.
