Church in bid to keep out heavens
A BEAUTIFUL historic church in New Mills – which has served the local community for 175 years – has launched an urgent appeal to secure its future.
Water leaking into the roof space at St George’s Parish Church has caused considerable rot to timber supports, resulting in a mammoth £100,000 repair bill.Around £4,000 has already been spent on making the Grade II Listed building watertight, but replacing the rotten roof timbers will run into thousands of pounds.
The church – supported by its new vicar John Baines – has now launched a fund-raising appeal and is calling on parishioners and local businesses for support.
“It is a wonderful building which is important to so many people who come here to see us during different times in their lives,” commented Mr Baines.
“It is a spiritual place where people can come and find God, which is one of the main reasons why a church exists, and also it is a very attractive inside.”
As well as the rotting roof timbers, water has leaked through the steeple underneath the weathervane and rendered the church’s Coronation clock inoperable.
To raise funds for the repair work, a number of social events are being planned for the coming months, including a flower festival from September 7 to 11, on the theme of Weddings Through The Ages.
Another popular event will be the Christmas tree festival from December 7 to 11.
The church is also opening its doors to the public every Saturday until the end of September, between 11am and 3.30pm.
Visitors can have a look around the church and view a selection of old photographs which are on display. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available.

Girls Aloud were last night sensationally saved from a dastardly plot to kidnap them by a handsome stranger who intervened heroically on their behalf.
The luscious girls, currently touring the world to promote their new album, were almost the victims of a cunning Islamic extremist plot to hold them for possibly brainwashing into suicide bombers – a process that would probably have involved repeatedly ravishing their young, nubile bodies. We can also exclusively reveal that if the brainwashing – due to be performed in a council semi in Coventry – had not been considered successful, the sexy young minxes would almost certainly have been passed on to Al Qaeda mastermind Osama Bin Laden himself to fulfill his perverted desires.
The drama unfurled last night as the saucy girls’ tour bus passed through the well heeled Hampshire resort town of Lee on the Solent – considered by many to be the town that Monaco models itself on. As the bus slowed to avoid what seemed to be a minor accident in the road ahead, eight crazy, AK47 armed jihadists ambushed the bus and ordered the startled driver to head for the Midlands.
Luckily for the girls a dapper looking young man, dressed in a pin stripe suit and bowler hat – who later would only identify himself as the Pikester – happened to be ambling past the horrifying scene with his fashionable Glen of Imaal Terrier. According to the shocked, yet still lust inspiring girls, this stranger launched himself into action with cries of They don’t like it up ’em! and Take that, Abdul, you cad!
Despite only being armed with an umbrella, this young gent was able to overcome the warped tea-towel wearing terrorists in short order, much to the relief and gratitude of the foxy quintet.
Nicola gushed, ‘It was amazing, I’ve never seen anything like it. He didn’t even fight dirty like Cheryl does.’
Sarah added, ‘Yeah. You don’t often see violence carried out with so much sophistication and charm. I got quite damp.’
Cheryl sensationally claimed that, ‘I would definitely chuck Ashley for him. He’s got my number and I’m hoping he’ll give me a call. He said he couldn’t promise anything because he’s so busy but I’ll be hoping and waiting.’
Nadine said, ‘Seeing a man like that makes you wonder whether anyone one else will ever impress you again. I’m thinking of turning lezza so as to avoid disappointment in the future.’
Kimberley went on, ‘Even the nips of gin that he gave us from his hip-flask to calm us after the ordeal seemed of a superior quality. The man was just pure class. I’m certainly glad that the five of us managed to give him a good time in gratitude. It was the least we could do, really. He just tipped his hat, wished us all a good night and walked off down the road afterwards but none of us can walk properly even now. What a guy! I did feel a bit sorry for his dog tied up outside the bus for so long, though.’
