St. Andrew’s Church in Aycliffe Village is currently undertaking its annual review of the condition of gravestones in the churchyard. It is important that the graveyard is kept safe. Families with gravestones in the churchyard can help a lot by checking on the condition of their memorial stone and then reporting any problems and agreeing authorised repairs.
It is the responsibility of the families to keep the memorials in a safe condition.
Where gravestones are found to have a cause for concern every reasonable effort will be made to contact the families involved to discuss the action needed though should a high risk be identified then the church may have to take immediate action to ensure safety.
If anyone needs further information or needs to report a problem please contact the Rector, Rev’d Chris Pearson on 01325 789439.
