Villagers rally round to protect historic church after lead thieves strike

 

Villagers rallied round after thieves stripped a large swathe of roofing lead from their local church.

 

Residents of Burrough on the Hill, between Melton and Oakham, acted quickly to cover the gaping hole in the roof of St Mary the Virgin before heavy rainfall.

 

An estimated 50m sq area of the roof was left unprotected following the theft, which is thought to have happened in the early hours of Saturday.

 

The gap exposed the interior of the church, parts of which date back to the 13th Century. Its organ was directly underneath the hole.
