In 1855 St.
Tudno’s Church on the Great Orme, Llandudno, was re-roofed and
restored thanks to
the generosity of one benefactor, Mr. William Henry Reece. Time
and the exposed position of the church have taken their toll and the
church once again needs to be re-roofed. It is estimated that
1000 new slates will be required and there is an exciting opportunity
for anyone to be a benefactor by sponsoring a slate.
Sponsor-a-Slate is being organised by the Friends
of St. Tudno's Church and was launched at the
Friends' Fair on 5 September 2009.
At the Friend's
Fair, people were queueing up to Sponsor-a-Slate.
For £10.00 you can sponsor a slate and have your name, or that of
someone whom you would like to remember, engraved on a slate when the
roof is repaired.
The names will be engraved on the under sides of the slates, and so
protected from the weather, but whenever a future generation repairs
the roof the names will be clear to see. All sponsors are invited
to enter their names, and any messages, on the application
form which will become
part of the parish archive and will thus be a more accessible record of
contributors.
If
you would like to sponsor a slate in someone's name as a gift,
a special gift certificate
is now available with room for you to write your own message
- but please don't forget to return the sponsor form
to us!
Sponsor forms are available
in St.
Tudno's Church and in Holy
Trinity Church or can be downloaded here.

form.
