All Saints’ Church Yard Oakham
Oakham Town Council is expected to contribute nearly £3,000
of local tax payer’s money to repair the grave yard.
Oakham School is only willing to contribute the labour,
after it was found some of its staff had
contributed to the damage caused
by parking on the grave stones.
The church despite, some of its members and visiting clergy,
contributing to the damage have no money to give.
Oakham Town Council use local tax payer’s money
for the general upkeep of the church yard.
This is common practice throughout England
What I find strange is The Town Council also pays
for the upkeep of the church clock.
I am starting to wonder what else the Town Council
pays for and should not be paying for.
The Chairman of Oakham Town Council
is a member of this church. Many residents of the town
are not so why are they expected to pay to maintain and fix the clock each
year?
