Friends of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin

The trust launches on the 8th of October.

A small group of like minded people have come together who share a common view that this historic church should be maintained for the benefit of generations to come, as it has been for over 700 years.

Where historic buildings form part of our heritage it is desirable to sustain and enhance them – this is certainly true of this church. By doing we will seek to contribute to our knowledge and understanding of local history and the past by capturing evidence from the church and making this information more publicly available.

The small group have therefore formed a charity for this purpose which I will refer to as ‘The Friends’. We shall be launching the scheme in the church on Saturday the 8^th of October from 9 am – this will coincide with the regular porch sale. Current members of the Trustees will be available to explain the charity and give mini guided tours of the church. Accompanied children will be able to take part in a quiz. Refreshments will be available.

We would like YOU to become a member of “The Friends” charity through annual membership. Further details including a membership application form can be obtained from me on:
