Thank you Kirt for your comments.
I have looked out some photographs of the Tower for you but my camera is not good enough to get closeups. When the work is being done I will be getting some photographs taken from the scaffolding. I quote you from the brochure that was sent to every house in Cherry Hinton last year.
'St Andrews Church Cherry Hinton is a Grade 1 listed Building, dating back to circa 1200. The last major work on the Tower was in the reign of Henry VIII.
The Tower is now in urgent need of structural repair - the parapets - made of local stone (quarried nearby) are deteriorating. The cement render is cracked and is allowing water in. Architects have advised that without repair the Tower will become a safety hazard'
Repairing the Tower will be a major architectural project, requiring the services of specialist stonemasons and substantial scaffolding. ' The overall costs are rising annually and are now in the region of £250.000!!
I hope this is enough information for you for the time being, Kirt. Regards to you over the water.
