Welcome to 
Berwick Parish Church
 
from which thieves have just stolen the unique 17thC lead downcomers, the roof (see pic below) was replaced in dangerous to handle and valueless stainless steel in 1996. Sadly, in addition to increasing security measures, the stolen lead,  marked with 'Smartwater' chemical code: identification number 7439619.1  (which can detected by any reputable metal dealer) is to be replaced with glass fibre replica. 

Dedicated to
The Holy Trinity and Saint Mary
