St Peter, Hook Norton, Oxfordshire
In November 2002 strong winds dislodged one of the pinnacles to the Tower. Remarkably, very little damage was caused, because the stone section with its weathervane landed on the Tower, only making a small hole in the roof and bending the vane shaft.
However investigations revealed that the other pinnacles were also insecurely built; and this project refixed all the pinnacles as well as repaired the minor damage.
The works were expertly carried out by Boden and Ward off a ‘crow’s nest’ scaffolding.
