Our Lych Gate .... and thieves in the night

Our newly restored Lych Gate is the victim of a bunch thieves who wander in the night.

Just now l recieved a call from David who was  visiting his sister here in Chorlton.

And while she was describing how this iconic part of Chorlton had been recently renovated and restored he noticed that Burglar Bill had taken some of the lead from the roof.

Our three City Councillors have been messaged and Cllr John Hacking and Cllr Mathew Benham  have reported it to the city council

Of course l can't be sure that these creepy crawly slidy creatures of the night ripped the lead in the dead of dark but its the sort of thing they do.
