Members of the congreation at All Saints' Parish church in Leamington town centre have launched an appeal to raise money to repair the building's roof and protect its organ and side chapel from rain.

Last year rainwater started dripping through the roof and into the pipes of the organ.

The hole in the roof has been covered with a temporary plastic sheet since then, and work will take place this autumn to repair the roof properly.

It will cost more than £80,000.

The Grade 2 listed church, in Victoria Terrace, also has a small side chapel devoted to Mary, the mother of Jesus, where there are wall paintings which are more than 100 years old.

It, too, is at risk from the leaky roof.

The church has set up a JustGiving page justgiving.com/campaign/allsaintsleam-organroof through which donations can be made.

Donations can also be made via the church's website at http://www.allsaintschurchleamington.org.uk/making-a-donation.html
