Police have reopened their investigation into the vandalism of a 14th-century church.
Investigations into the damage to the masonry at St Michael's Church, Beccles, had been closed by Suffolk police.
But after it was reported the investigation had been closed, it prompted somebody to report new information to the police - leading to officers re-launching their probe into the offence.
It is believed that the vandals struck at some point between Monday, April 17, and Saturday, April 22.
Damage was caused to the stonework, including to the patio terrace slabs, and safety fences were moved that were in a position to safeguard and protect an area on the ground where loose stone masonry may fall from the church.
A Suffolk police spokesperson said: "The case has been reopened and will remain open until all new lines of enquiry have been exhausted."
Churchwarden Phil Filer was initially disappointed that police had closed investigations into the damage to the church.
Mr Filer said: "The damage caused by this vandalism is costly, frustrating and ongoing.
"The culprits have not been identified and, if not dealt with quickly and effectively, this kind of destructive and anti-social behaviour can lead to more serious criminality.
"Our parish church is a much-loved part of Beccles life and community and we urge anyone who witnesses vandalism or anti-social behaviour to immediately inform the police."
The church in New Market in Beccles was built in 1369 and St Michael's tower stands at over 100 feet with a prominent view of the River Waveney.

Another churchwarden, Sue Son, said: "The recent vandalism at St Michaels Church in Beccles has horrified me, the verandah has been severely and permanently damaged in many areas which is devastating.
"Those responsible have not been identified but their lack of respect for a beautiful and historic building is deplorable and shocking."
Anyone who has information is urged to contact Suffolk police quoting crime reference 37/23624/23.
