A number of ancient English
churches are replacing their
equally ancient roofs with alumi
num, One of these is the Chapel
of St. James in the village of
Nether Warton, Oxfordshire. Its
lead roof, originally laid in 1665,
brought £478 as scrap — enough
to pay the whole cost of installing
the new roof.
It is a neat example of how,
while most metals have been get
ting more expensive through the
centuries, the cost “of aluminum
has been going down. Aluminum
