3) Finance Re
Ort 2024
In 2024 we spent £112,189 on roof repairs and £127,888 on re-wiring, new lighting and heaters.
We re￿iVed a VAT grant of £39,088 relating to this expenditure. Therefore the net cost of the.se
two projects was £200,989. Back in 2022123 we received £245,291 from the Diocese for the
Rectory Hall and a Special Fund was created from this money to initially be used on these repair
projeGts.
Excluding the major repair transactions, unrestricted income for 2024 was £74,397 and expenditure
£75,519, so breakeven.
The main focus of the year was the repair work so there was no other abnormal expenditure. The
Flower Festival did take place and made a profit of £6,004. The £37,410 Parish Share was paid in
full.
In the year The Overseas Mission committee donated £2,730 to various international Christian
charities and The Friends, of All Saints, raised just over £5,400 for the Church bLAilding.
At the end of the year the general unrestricted fund held £52,424. the unrestricted Special Fund
(relating the Rectory Hall monies) £28,940. The Friends of All Saints, Church £24,486. The
Overseas Mission Committee £767. and the Special Objects Fund £3,586.

Independent Examiner's Report
to the PCC of All Saknts, Parish Church, Stock Harvard
I report on the acc'ounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 Decanber 2024, whiLh are set out on pages 6
to 13.
Respective responsibilities of the PCC and examiner
The charity's trustees consider tha.t an audit is nol reqiiired for this year under section 144(2) of the
Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independ¢nt examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to
eX￿lline the accounts under section 145 of the Ch￿ItIeS Act.
to follow procedures laid down in the gene,ral directions givell by the Charity Conmiissioners
s¢¢tion 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act. and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Illdependent Examiners Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity
Comrnission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a
comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any uniisud items or
disclosures in the accounts and seeking explallation8 frouL th¢ PCC concerning any such llLattcrs. Tbe
procedures undertakeii do not provide all the evidence that Miould be required in an audit, and
consequently llo opinion is givcll as to wheth& the awounts present a 'tnLe and fair, VA¢W and tb¢ report
is limited to those matters set out in the st'atemeiit below.
Independent examiner's st.atement
In connection with my cxamilldtion, no mat￿la1 matters have come to my attention which give me cause
to believe that in any material respect,.
accoullting records wcrc not kcpt in aLiordance with s. 130 of thL Chanties 2011 Act. or
thc accounts do not a,ccord with the accowiting records.
I hav¢ come acroys no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be
drawn in order to enable a proper und￿￿tanding of the accounts to be reached.

4) Fabrlc re
ort for the
ear 2024
Re
ort b Martln Kln
and Peter Stas
We are thankful for our long-term church architect Rod Shelton for his patient and detemiined
diligence - particularly in guiding us through the Diocesan Advisory Committee's directions over
the lighting and also over the bat issues.
ROOF REPAIRS UP TO JUNE 2024
Work on reroofing the Nave and Chancel roofs started at the end of 2023 but only made significant
progress frorn the start of 2024 even though the wettest February on record led to extensive delays.
Starting with the Chancel, roofs were stripped in turn. Main faults from the post-war repairs were
the widespread absence of felt, use of battens that had not been tanalised and nails that were not
stainless. All these issues were corrected.
Several mandatory bat surveys concluded there was little evidence of bats apart from the
tower. But we still had to argue hard to avoid including bat slots in the roof and allowing us to avoid
the surveyorfs preference of felt (bitumastic rather than the modern breathable equivalent). The
compromise is significant for all church roofs,. we simply agreed to place six bat boxes on elm trees
in the lower graveyard,
The main rooFing jobs included replacing all the major end beams and bargeboards and bolstering
the gulley. We also added additional extem<il leading to tackle intemal damp patLhes particularly
above the pulpit, the statue of Mary and the font. Guttering on the Nave's south face was also in
a worse condition than expected, but thanks to the Friends, assistance we were able to install
aluminium replacements,
One surprise was how much detritus had been left in the void above the ceiling, comprising war-
damaged tiles and even old metal fittings and a bookcase. All this had to be renioved and the area
left spotlessly clean.
Only about 40 per cent of the original tiles were re-usable. Fortunately our contractors found an
excellent rnatch of secondhand tiles that were In a reasonable Gondition and should last many
decades.
Finally the external toilets block also needed reroofing and the work included replacing some of
the side woodwork and gutten'ng. (FOY interest, completion of this final job was delayed for several
weeks to avoid disturbing a blue tit family that had moved into one corner. Access was maintained
when the roof was complete.)
In short we are grateful to contractors Robbie Wilks of R.M, Wilks l_td and his partner Matthew Day
of W&D Roofing for achieving what was described by one passing retired roofer as arnazing job -
replacing roofing on a Grade 1 listed building to SLich a high standard but in such a way that no
passer-by now needs to be aware of all that went on to make it fit for many more years.
ELECTRICAL WORK,8 FROM MAY TO DECEMBER 2024
Paul Peacock of Peacock Electrical Services rommenced in mid-may of 2024 on our major project
of rewiring andlor upgrading every electric'al item in the Nave, North Aisle and the Tower. We knew
there were problems but the number of major faults was literally shocking - with widespread safety
is.sues across ligtiting, heating, cabling and switchboards.
14

Parochial Church CollnLil of All Saints, Parish Church Stock Harvard
We are grateful for the depths of Paul's expertise, and also for his willingness to share it and to
review details continually as we made refinements. Above all we thank him for his endless patience
over delays as we waited for various pemiissions.
All work has been completed to the latest standards with, for instance, RCD protection on every
GonneGtion and ARC protection on all relevant sy.stems. In addition we upgraded the heating
(losing the red glow) and installed a modern lighting system that simplifies the controls while
significantly reducing power consumption.
The lighting system was supplied by Clarity Sound, Light and Vision of Braintree at a separate cost
of £22,228 plus VAT and installed by Mr Peacock. The Nave and North Aisle heaters, also installed
by Mr Peacock, were supplied by Infrared Heating Products Ltd of Burton on Trent at a cost of
£12,253 plus VAT and have a 10-year warranty.
One major challenge that was uncovered during the project concerned the aged power supply to
the organ. The cabling was woefully inadequate and had obviously been running at a dangerously
high temperature within the organ housing. All aspects of the supply were upgraded and a
separate switchboard installed. This enabled us to run two permanent low-wattage downlights
under the organ loft.
New lights were installed in the tower. For the first time the Green Man In the high beams can be
seen clearly. Modem replacements We￿ also installed extemally for the corner downward
floodlights over the footpath.
ADDENDUM.. While the annual report above covers only work carried out in 2024, the following
items have already been tackled for 2025 and will be listed again in the 2025 Fabric Report next
year:
1. Mandatory safety lighting has been added within the Ghurch and includes a new fitment In
the porch. Safety lights are also being installed for accessing the bell loft.
2. Tower heating. We had hoped to continue with the existing tower heaters but thpy were
found to be unsafe. with original metal outer cases running live. We replaced them with
smaller versions of the IHP heaters (again with 10-year warranties) and these have been
supplied and the total cost Is c. £3,000 plus VAT. There was a delay while awaiting funds
but Mr Peacock was due to complete the work before the APM at which this report is to be
presented.
3. Final labelling, testing, tidying etc
CONCLUSION
We have striven throughout these projects not only to make the church a safer and better place to
be, bLIt also to enhance flexibility both in the church and tower. We have already one concert and
another is imminent and we have plans to use the tower in new ways for the commLJliity,

Our team consists of only 4 servers consisting of myself, Rachel Hill, Daniel McGuinness and Mike
McGeachie.
For most services, we have only had 3 servers due to Mike being unavailable after knee surgery,
and somptimes only 2. This is challenging at times, but we have managed.
Additional duties undertaken away from the weekly services include the ordering of candles,
communion wafers, wine etc., and Rachel takes care of this, whereas I look after the laundering of
the altar linen. Rachel and I both change the altar frontals as and when required.
A big thank you to the team for your hard work and dedication!

During this year, with electrical works being carried out, the Tower has been out of use for the Choir

ort from the Priest-in-char
- Rev Jac
ui Pearson
This year much of our time, energy, and money, have been focused on our building, with the two
significant projects of the roof and the electrics. The church building is now much safer from
potential water and fire damage, and we are hopefully a little warmer and a lot less red!
A huge thank you must go to Martin King, Peter Stas and Graham Clark, who have put in many
hours of voluntary labour helping Paul Peacock (our Flectrician}, in order to keep costs down and
the projects on schedule. Thanks must also go to Judith Sabine, Richard Sainsbury and the whole
pcc.
We also have our new giving devi￿, awarded to the church in the summer following our application
to the Diocese Giving Initiative. This will hopefully enable more people to give usirig their debit and
credit cards and bringing in some vital income, especially from ServI￿S such as weddings,
Christenings and at the Flower Festival.
Of course, the vital heart beat of regular ServI￿S and events has continued alongside the building
works. The school has been in church several times over the course of 2024, and I would like to
say'thank you, to Pauline Collier and Rachel Hill for all their hard work in maintaining and improving
the vital link with our church school, and to Leigh Mayhook forjoining the Governor body.
We had our Flower Festival, ￿lebrating the life and works of Roald Dahl. Thank you to Jill and
Peter, and to all of the Flower Festival Committee, and thank you to Margaret Oddeii and all the
Flower Arrangers, who did such a wonderful job, even amongst the grief of Christine Makings,
passing.
We have had numerous christenings, weddings and funerals. let us continue to pray that people in
our community will Gonts'nue to come to church tL) mark these significant moments in their lives, and
at such ServI￿S wp can provide a place of welcome, a place of prayer, and a place where the
Gospel of Jesus is preached and lived out.
For though this beautiful building is a physical building, made of stone, mortar, wood (and now
plenty of fire-proof electrical cabling), All Saints, churc,h Is much more than a beautiful, ancient
building. It is a building that has witness the prayers of countless believers over the cpnturies, has
heard many hymns being sung, and seen many people fed both spiritually and physically by the
body and blood of Christ at the Eucharist.
We now need to continue to prayerfully discern how we can best use this building In our missioii
to share the Gospel and build up the body of Christ - with Jesus fimily at the Gentre, for he Is our
cornerstone. In this we need to think creatively. How can we use the gift of our building, and the
gifts that each one of us bring, to bring the Good News of Jesus to our village?

B) Unit Committee
Re

Unity among the Three Churches in Stock began this year, the same as in previous years, with the
Unity Service in the Village Hall. The service was led by Bishop Thomas Mcmahon but all three
churches were involved with the orgaiiising of the event. The service was well attended by
members of all the churches plus our local Scout Group.
On Good Friday the churches combined to carry out the Walk of Witness. The Walk, which starts
at Our Lady and St. Joseph Church with prayer, is led by a member of the group carrying a wooden
cross, The procession proceeds to the High Street and heads towards the Chelmsford end of the
village. It then crosses the road and walks to All Saints, Church for prayer and then proceeds lo
Christ Church for the concluding acl of worship. The group then partakes of tealcoffee and hot
cross buns.
The Remembrance Day servi￿ at the War Memorial is organised by the Unity Committee, in
conjunction with the local branch of the Royal British Legion. This year the service at the War
Memorial and the following Servi￿ at the Legion Hall, was led by the Revd. Miranda Seaman of
All Saints, Church,
It was decided tl)al due to losing our printing outlet and lack of people to distribute them, Christmas
Cards would not be available. Publicity regarding church services was printed on posters and
displayed around the village. Year 6 pupils at stock Church of England Primary School, once again
took part in a painting competition and the three winning PlGtures formed part of the poster.

Carols at the Hoop was well attended and a great success. The choir from our local school took
part and their contribution was greatly re￿ived.
The Rt Revd. Dr Gull Francis-Dehqani, Bishop of Chelmsford had been invited to speak to us all in
May but due to her being unwell, this event had to be cancelled, She is due to visit the Three
Churches on Monday 16th June and her talk will be entitled 'Why l Believe!, The event will be held

The Compass group of churches met three times over the year. Much of the discussions were
about the way the Parish Share is worked out and how the changes affected each of the church's
contributions.
A lot of changes were made within the compass group, the main one being the retirement of Terry
Brown, fortunately others have come forward to fill any gaps in the administration team,
During the meetings ideas were exchanged on how we can support each other, and also what
other churches were doing to encourage participation iri church.
D} Overseas Mission
Julia Seaman
The Overseas Mission Committee started life as tlie Overseas Guild when all transactions were in
pounds, shillings and pence, Banks were in every High Streel and anxious to please customers.
The USPG has always been the 'umbrella' Charity which allocates all donations to where it is most
needed :we have supported the USPG over many decades, and In addition have supported other
charities, three of which were introduced to us by fonner clerqy...Snehasadan in India (Fr.Jeremy
Bunting)Kwa Mkono in Tanzania (Fr. Robert Corbin},Holy Child Proqram in Bel'hlehem (Fr.
Stephen Need) and Let the Children Live! In Colombia.
Snehasadan has vanished from our radar, we have tried to get money to them unsuccessftjlly, Kwa
Mkono is now looked after by three elderly nuns from a flat in Littlehampton who have always been
extremely grateful for our donations. (See letter attached). We send the Holy Child Program money
by a very convoluted process via a member of the congregation and Let the Children Livel receives
a cheque from us yearly but I have not received any news from them for some time. I did warn
them last year that I personally would be giving up the Committee work.
I took over from Pat Todd 20 years ago and I feel ttiat now is the time to hand over the Overseas
section of the 100/0 giving to the PCL, given the disappearing Banks, the reluctance to accept cash,
and the rise of the international relief agencies who now take control in times of war and natural
disaster.
The USPG is our main recipient of funds and they sent a letter uf thanks for our donation to their
Christmas appeal for healthcare in Bangladesh.
Thanks go to Neville Bull for managing the Gift Aid, to t.he PCC for their annual donation and most
of all to l_eigh and Sylvia who with me are the last surwving members of what was once a large
Committee.
If any future fund-raising is required we are still willing to assist.

The visits have included:.
Service for Easter, Year 6 Leavers Farewell Service, Christingle Service, sale of food at the
church Harvest Festival, a rehearsal and two performances of KS2 Christmas Carols.
The sale of food at our harvest Festival Service raised £190. This was donated by tl)e school to
their charity for the year- Billericay Food Bank,
The Revds. Jacqui and Miranda have visited the school and have taken fourAssemblies.
Sadly, due to the maintenance work, we have not be able to have the welcome service for the

I have been on a couple of courses to keep up to date with the latest safeguarding ISSUES and
report any changes to the PCC committee.
Members of the PCC are encouraged to do the basic online safeguarding course.
Everyone is reminded lo be aware of any issues that may oLcur and to talk to someane if they feel
something is not right. Posters have been put on display in q(Jiet pldces (tlie toilets) giving contact
