Theft of Lead

Following the theft of lead from the roof above the New Hall last August (which has now been replaced with galvanised zinc), thieves have struck again at Mearns Kirk. This time they have targeted 2 of the recently repaired flat roofs above the entrance vestibule and session house. Temporary repairs are under way to keep the building watertight, and the floodlights are to be switched on during the hours of darkness to act as a deterrent against further attempts. However, consideration will have to be given to achieving a more permanent solution that is acceptable to East Renfrewshire Council and Historic Scotland, bearing in mind that the kirk is an important listed building. As metal theft is now so prevalent, the Church's insurers no longer cover the cost of replacing the stolen material, which will have to be met from our own resources. Anyone living nearby or passing the kirk at night is asked to look out for any unusual activity, including the presence of vans/lorries in the car park or up at the kirk, and to report anything suspicious to the Police.
