THIEVES have stolen lead from the roof of St Peters Church’s in Inkberrow for the second time in just four days.
The church was hit by thieves during the early hours of Wednesday 22 and Sunday 26 (March) and dozens of panels of lead were taken.
As well as the lead they also damaged stone work, drains and guttering in the process.
Guy Ledger, Chairman of the Fabric Committee, who are responsible for the upkeep and safety of the church, said: “It is such a shame for the community.
“It’s a massive burden for the church because our insurance company will not cover the costs.
“This is due to a limit on their policy and the labor costs being extremely expensive.
“We are trying to raise money through other means and I plan on setting up a fund-raising website over the coming months.”
Police are asking for witnesses who might have seen something on either night to come forward.
