SEVERAL of Flexbury Park Methodist Church’s windows have been destroyed by vandals.

The Methodist people in Bude care for this Grade II listed building.

The Rev Neal Street said: “It is a tragedy that this icon of the town may now become an eyesore. The windows of the church will have to be boarded up to prevent further damage.”

The church is closed, but the Methodist Circuit had been working hard with town organisations to develop a future for the site.

Those involved said the vandals may now have scuppered the possibility of this becoming a resource for culture, education and training focusing on younger people.

It is thought the damage was carried out sometime on Monday or Tuesday night, August 7 and 8.

The damage was reported to police. Anyone with information can contact them on 101 or email [email protected] quoting log reference number CR66646.
