A church in the Midlands that has leaned at an angle greater than the Tower of Pisa is in need of more than £100,000 to repair its wonky flooring, reports Premier Christian News.
Premier Christian News writes:
St James Church in Dry Doddington, Lincolnshire has risen to fame for its angled tower of 5.1 degrees, compared to the landmark in Piazza dei Miracoli in Tuscany, which has a lean of 3.97 degrees….
…trying to raise the money needed to save the Grade II listed building, which was built during the 12th century….
… Richard Loynes, church warden at St James in Dry Doddington wrote on an online fundraising page: ‘We need to replace the very old floor in our 14th-century church which has the famous tower that leans more than Pisa!’ Loynes told Lincs Online: ‘As with hundreds of churches we need to raise funds, but we’re as bad, if not worse than most, as we have a wonky floor. We are hoping to raise just over £100,000 to tackle the floor, replaster some of the walls and to upgrade the electricity as we only have one plug…’ he added.
