Part of Church of the Annunciation Parish, Walsingham

Bishop say Fr Gerry Langley must have a housekeeper - but the house is very cold with no central heating. Bishop has said that Fr Langley is appointed to Blakeney until he can no longer manage. Real issue is Diocesan attitude to the house; without central heating it will be hard of Fr Langley and in due course make it difficult to attract another priest. Possibly £2,000 investment required - parish might fund this if they thought there is an intention to keep a resident priest at Blakeney? Asks Fr Wilson to think about it and get back soon.

Part of Our Lady and St Thomas of Canterbury Parish, Wymondham

Valuable & vigorous time on a programme which at first seemed daunting but was fully vindicated. Bishop did visit the whole of the parish. Very much liked what he encountered and thanked Fr Brown and Sister Alies for their time & energy. Attleborough has no immediate answer; building there is still thought of, but the Bishop favours the Methodist Church as a good venue. Suggests Fr Brown should programme in some painting. The hall may still provide adequate service but for how long? Wymondham is a happy and well organised parish.

Mr R A Hood (Administrator) writes that Fr Rimmer of Manchester mentioned that the Shrine at Walsingham had suffered damage during severe weather. This would require £5000 to repair. Are these facts correct, and are you obtaining reimbursement from insurance? He may make a personal donation to the Shrine.

Insurance damage claims categorised as "Storm Damage" but many cannot be so covered as the buildings are old or frail. Expense is relatively high not least since 4 pilgrimages have been cancelled. Bishop describes work done - new roof; refurnishing; maintenance and capital repairs. Hence Fr Rimmer's description is not wrong and the outgoings are not all covered by insurance. About to engage an architect to give a plan for the Slipper Chapel area, but, have to find £10,000 for the Chapel alone. If this elicits your [Mr R A Hood, Administrator, CAFOD] charity then I would be exceedingly grateful.

Allclear Drain Services have inspected the foul and surface water drainage and undertaken water flow tests.
WES, a soils investigation company, have carried out window sampling at three locations.
Recommendations: without remedial work on the church foundations there will continue to be slow movement. Ultimately the front of the church may need to be reattached to the remainder.
