Raise the Roof
St Peter’s Christmas Tree Festival - another successful and thoroughly enjoyable Christmas Tree Festival displaying over 20 trees from the local community was held in December. The church was full of visitors on both days with music and carols bringing the community together.
Look out for more events in the coming year.
Raise the roof: the backstory
Following the theft of lead from a large part of the roof in 2019, we planned to replace the temporary felt roof with terne-coated steel. With the help of generous grants from the National Churches Trust, Cambridge Historic Churches Trust, the Thalia WB Community Fund through The Landfill Communities Fund (administered by Cambridgeshire Community Foundation), plus the support of friends in Duxford and beyond, this phase of the project has been completed. We are now fundraising to replace the Victorian lead on the main section of the roof which has reached the end of its useful life.
