The Lych Gate was dedicated by the Bishop of Grantham at 4pm on Sunday 1st of October,
before the Annual Harvest festival Service.
The original estimate of
the cost of the project, produced by our retained architect Peter
McFarlane of Bond and Read, Grantham, amounted to £16,500 - the council
is hopeful that it cab be done for £14,000. Donations and fundraising to date
have produced £9,345, including significant contributions from the
Ewerby C.of E. Primary School Trust and the Crown Commissioners.
The oak for the Lych Gate
was donated by Mr. Davie-Thornhill and felled from Haverholme Wood. The
Aswarby Estate Sawmill was responsible for the original sawing and the
very skilled carpentry and construction work was carried out by
Mayfield Builders of Boston.
