Repairs to a church's roof in a coastal Norfolk village are set to take place in the coming weeks after "distressing" vandalism damaged it.
Holy Trinity and All Saints Church in Winterton was damaged in August when vandals climbed on its roof and displaced sections of it.
It has had a big knock-on effect on the church community and has disrupted services.
A spokesman from the Diocese of Norwich said: "There has been some recent damage caused by vandalism on the roof of Holy Trinity and All Saints Church at Winterton on Sea within the Diocese of Norwich.
"The church community has been fundraising for repairs to the roof, so while the vandalism was extremely distressing for all, they are grateful that no one was injured.
"The vandalism has not had an impact on the church being open as usual for daily prayer and Sunday services.
"Rev Deborah Watson welcomes all who would like to come and visit this beautiful church by the sea.
"Work will start on repairs in the next few weeks."
The damage has been reported to the police - no arrests have yet been made.
Holy Trinity and All Saints Church
Winterton Church's most striking feature is its extraordinary tower that stands 132 feet high.

The church is thought to date from the 13th century. The furnishings are largely the result of the Victorian restoration in an Anglo-Catholic tradition.
The intricately carved rood screen and the Fisherman’s Corner are said to be of special note.
Nets from one of the last fishing boats that made a living from the nearby beach hang from the walls and at the back of the church is Fisherman's Corner with a crucifix carved from ships' timbers.
