Schools in Lichfield and Burntwood are being given extra time to sign up for Lichfield Cathedral’s Adopt a Gargoyle scheme.

As well as educating students about the historic building and its gargoyles, the initiative will also help with fundraising for the Cathedral’s East End Appeal.

Due to high demand, the deadline for schools to sign up to the scheme has been extended until March 31.

Schools were sent information packs last year, but any who need another one can contact Judith Ayton on 01543 306106 or email [judith.ayton@lichfield-cathedral.org](mailto:judith.ayton@lichfield-cathedral.org).

Patricia Collins, director of fundraising, said: “We have received some excellent entries for the competitions and great names for the gargoyles. However, we were contacted by schools who said the deadline after Christmas proved too tight for them to complete projects and class work, so we are happy to extend the deadline to the end of term.

“We feel it would be a shame to curb enthusiasm and creativity and look forward to receiving many more entries.”
