Church ceiling and roof - result of report

A full inspection of the roof and ceiling by the church architect and the structural engineer was carried out on 17th November 2021.

We now have a detailed report of the construction and condition of the ceiling and roof, which dates from about 1436. The original construction is largely intact, and in reasonable condition! Extensive restoration took place in 1861, 1871, and in the mid 20th century.

The report shows that a comprehensive programme of roof and ceiling repairs is urgently needed, and we must start the necessary planning now.

Let’s hope we can match the vision of the people of 1436 to keep this building at the centre of our village life for the next six hundred years!

Festival of Christmas Trees and Angels

A glorious display of Festive Trees and Angels!

From December 12th to 15th, St Andrew's was filled with the joy and hope of Christmas, with decorated trees celebrating the life of Harberton in every pew and a throng of beautiful angels filling the spaces and the window sills and even hanging from the pillars.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their artistic skill and imagination.

The PCC provided another delicious Curry Lunch on 12 October - thanks to all concerned. More than £600 was raised for Church funds.
