Appeal on behalf of St. Mary's Church, Hinxhill by Jack Warner
Contributions (preferably by crossed postal order or cheque) will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to Jack Warner, [address removed]
The little parish of Hinxhill has only seventeen houses. The parishioners have loved and cared for their church, parts of which go back to Saxon times, but now major restoration is essential. More than £ 1,000 has been raised, but damage from beetle, dry-rot, and damp still has to be repaired. This will cost another £ 1,000, and the task has become too big for these few people to carry alone.
