A SOMERSET church has received a £25,000 grant from the Culture Recovery Fund to carry out essential repair works. St Bartholomew’s Church in East Lyng will use the funds to repair the church tower to stop water seeping into the bell tower and eroding the ancient masonary and rotting the stays, which hold the six bells in place. The grant comes at a crucial time as further damage to the church would have rendered it unsafe and beyond repair. Grants of up to £25,000 are being allocated to cherished heritage sites, like St. Bartholomew’s, across the country to cover urgently needed maintenance and repairs.

An innovator in social care in Norfolk and with a lifelong passion for creative solutions to help people, Ted Hare, has died aged 79.
When poor health ended his career prematurely after 30 years, Mr Hare had been Norfolk’s director of adult social services.
However, four years later, in 1999, he had quadruple heart surgery and made a complete recovery.
With renewed enthusiasm, he spent the next 25 years as a nationally respected healthcare and social care consultant.
He became heavily involved with Norfolk groups and charities including serving as chairman of Thornage Hall Independent Living, near Holt, and vice-chairman of Aylsham and District Care Trust.
