The ‘Faculty’from the Diocese (the Church equivalent of planning permission)arrived early in May <strong>and</strong> means we can now startplanning the restoration work in earnest. We’ve also appliedto Carlisle City Council for planning permission to extendthe vestry. Don’t be fooled by the word ‘Tearoom’ onthe application — it’s just a rather gr<strong>and</strong> term for a modestextension to provide a disabled loo, <strong>and</strong> facilities for tea<strong>and</strong> coffee making. Helen Eichler, St Peter’s RestorationGroupBUNTING BONANZAResidents of <strong>Castle</strong> <strong>Carrock</strong> joined together to festoonthe village with flags <strong>and</strong> bunting — much of it sewn by SheilaCorby <strong>and</strong> a host of other volunteers.
