Good morning all! I hope all had a good weekend and that this week brings you good news!

[Heritage Declares @Heritagedecl]

Another day, another cathedral heading for #NetZero. By finding ways to sensitively introduce #renewableenergy in our most precious #heritage buildings, the Church is doing us all a service: making solar panels as straightforward and normal as radiators...

For today’s 300th anniversary of the death of Sir Christopher Wren - my 2 favourite Wren spaces:

- his 3rd building - ingenious ensemble of chapel, cloister, long gallery and clock @EmmaCambridge

- the SW tower @StPaulsLondon with its cantilevered staircase & perfect lighting.

Did you know that churches need to breathe? Moisture needs to be able to enter and leave a building when the weather changes. Below is a picture of repointing being carried out with lime mortar one of the materials we use that better allow this process to happen.

Could you plant an apple tree in your #churchyard? 🍎 Or perhaps create a #community orchard? #ruralchurch #ecochurch #carbonfootprint @ARochaUK @GreenChristian_ @lydia_perris
