The proceeds of the concert will go towards the target of £50,000 which the Church has to raise towards the cost of the church roof repairs. Barclays Bank has kindly agreed to give up to £1,000 to match what the concert raises.
All Saints’ Church Slingsby has been awarded funding of £11,100 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for its ‘Onwards and Upwards’ project.
Made possible by National Lottery players, the Project aims to carry out urgent repairs following lead theft from the church roof. It also aims to create a new ‘Local History Resource Centre’ and an exhibition area in the Church, opening up the Church to new uses.
The money has been awarded to help our Church develop its plans to apply for a full grant at a later date.

Marcus Jecock (Senior Investigator, Historic Places Investigation Team, North Research Group) will give a talk on the Hanging Grimston Community Archaeology Project.
Admission is free to Friends, others are welcome at a charge of £3.
The Friends say:-
The Hanging Grimston Community Archaeology Project was set up to investigate the earthwork remains of the deserted medieval village of Hanging Grimston, situated on the western edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, near Kirby Underdale. The general plan of the medieval village is known from the earthworks, but geophysical survey and to date three seasons of excavation are revealing much more detail of the site’s history. We now know that Hanging Grimston started life as a late Iron Age/Romano-British ‘ladder settlement’ and ended up as a Tudor mansion belonging to the Bourchier family of Beningborough Hall. The project is a joint venture of the High Wolds Heritage Group and the Scarborough Archaeological and Historical Society.
