It’s St Swithin’ Day today. Tradition says that whatever the weather is like today, it will continue for the next forty days. St. Swithin (or more properly, Swithun) was a Saxon Bishop of Winchester and legend says that he asked to be buried out of doors, where he would be trodden on and rained on. For nine years, his wishes were followed, but then on 15 July 971 the monks of Winchester attempted to remove his remains.
‘St Swithin’s Day, if it does rain
Full forty days, it will remain
St Swithin’s Day, if it be fair
For forty days, t’will rain no more.’

Faith in Maintenance is a new initiative from The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings which aims to help volunteers who look after historic places of worship. They provide training to help people understand how a building works and how to solve problems caused by leaky gutters and blocked drains. Their training courses are free and are available to any faith group using an historic building for worship.
Total Coverage recently designed two banners to encourage people to get involved.
