Stonemason and best selling author, Andrew Ziminski spoke at St Peter’s on Wednesday 4 March.

Over 200 people listened to his tales and experiences of repairing churches (he also specialises in ancient bridges).

The audience was wholly rapt up when he spotlighted pieces of technique, purpose and designs. The wonders of self repairing lime cement a good example.

He had views about special features of St Peter's itself and Rev Hughes gave a speedy tour of the church with his usual flaiir and enthusiasm

The event was organised by Rural Strides and with One Tree Books doing a roaring trade in Andrew’s book Church Going; Andrew's next book is about castles.
