St Mary
Whaplode, Lincolnshire
As at Long Sutton, the tower here almost stands aside from the main body of the church.
A Grade I listed early church much modified in 12th and 13th centuries. It is now primarily Early English with fine interiors. The village of Weston has a high proportion of unemployed and elderly households and also new Eastern European families with children. There is growing interest in the church and a small congregation has built up for a new regular evening service. The grant was to help with the re-leading of roof areas, replace damaged rainwater goods and install a permanent alarm system to protect lead roofs.
