The Summer Festival is off and running.

 


It's Celebration Time.

The team have been working very hard to put together a fantastic programme for the St. Peter's Summer Festival: our first opportunity to run events for the last 2 years (thank you Covid 19)!

So here goes!

On Saturday 2nd July we have a table top sale in the Church Hall with all sorts of goodies for sale: plants, cakes, bric-a-brac and the opportunity to come and have a cup of tea and, perhaps, a bacon sandwich with friends. It starts at 09.00 and goes on until 12.00.

On Friday 15th. July The 9 Lives Theatre Company presents a Summer Selection box; songs from all those famous West End Shows. The doors open at 6.45 p.m. and the show starts at 7.30 pm. You can call 07817622732 to book tickets.

And then if all that is not enough, Trumpet Virtuoso John Barker is giving a Celebration Concert on Sunday 31st. July in the Church. The doors open at 1.30 for a 2.45 start. This is a free concert so just come along!

 

Ever since Hilary Robinson, Producer of ‘Good Morning Sunday’ on Radio 2, heard John’s playing of Schubert’s ‘Ave Maria’ ringing down Carlton Street, Castleford, tracks from John’s albums have featured regularly on her show.

The concert will celebrate the completion of restoration work at St. Peter’s church which has been carried out with a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The concert is sponsored by the Elizabeth Wright Charity which supports education and charity work in St Peter’s Church and the town.




There is much more happening over August with the Festival culminating in our traditional Festive Proms Night Concert on Saturday 10th. September. 

Something for everyone, so do come and join us.

On with the Hard Hats #2

Flushed with the success of the first tour, more intrepid congregation members braved the trip up to the roof to check on the progress. There has been a lot completed in the last little while. The north roof is almost completely finished and the contractors are about to start on the south side. The first photo shows the completed roof. A total of 112 msq of lead has gone on to the roof and this weighs 12 tons, which is more than a full laden double-decker bus. This picture shows one of the roof beams that was repaired by the Victorians (renowned for their bodge jobs). Although this was done properly, the bolts they used to make the mend were too short which is why the beam has failed again. This time a new piece of oak has been spliced inside the beam and the job is good for another 150 years. Before the work began, the obligatory bat survey showed that there were some long-eared bats in residence among these beams, but they are safe from all the disturbance and work. O...

On With The Hard Hats!

A little while ago, some of the more intrepid members of the congregation climbed the 20ft ladder in the company of the architect to see progress on the south side of the roof. The process so far is to strip off the old lead and then melt it down, roll it out flat (by pouring the molten lead onto a bed of sand so that it is completely flat and smooth) and the re-applying it to the roof. Simples! Just factor in the weight of the lead (17lbs per square foot or 71Kgs per roll) which has to be hauled up by a hoist and there you are. The purpose of the lead is to weather-proof the finished roof, so each sheet has to be overlapped by 3ft. This has been happening to church roofs across the country since the earliest church building and hasnt changed much in all that time; indeed the Romans perfected the method of making water pipes out of lead (another of the amazing things the Romans did for us!). But why lead? It's extremely soft and easy to work into any shapes required and has a v...

Getting Started

  So how did all this begin? Val, our over-worked and much-valued Treasurer, takes up the story. The endangered west front Back in 2017, the Church Of England ordered a routine Quinquennial (5 yearly) survey to be completed and specialist architects were appointed to complete that for us. The news was not good: lead sheeting had slipped and let in water (we have lots of that in the Fens) and the roof timbers had rotted. The drains were not adequate for the job and allowed more damp to get in. There were cracks in the masonry and parts of the west face were deemed to be unsafe. An estimate for £500,000 landed on the Treasurer's desk. The nightmare had begun. Fast forward to 2018, further visits by the architects found this beautiful ancient monument on the At Risk Register for buildings. The only option was an application to the Heritage Lottery Fund as there was no way that the congregation (small but select) could raise that kind of money. Procrastination was the order of the...
