Upchurch Parish Council, who look after the church clock, (which is a war memorial) on behalf of the residents of the Parish, have used Parish funds to upgrade and modernise the clock and winding mechanisms in the tower of Saint Mary the Virgin, Upchurch, to mark the centenary of the end of the Great War and as a lasting act of remembrance in helping preserve our War Memorial for future generations of villagers and visitors to enjoy.

Local residents and visitors to the village expressed their desire to make a contribution to the work as a way of saying 'thank you' for the sacrifice of those in the First World War.

Over £4500.00 has been donated so far - Upchurch Parish Council would like to thank everybody who has donated, your generosity has been overwhelming.

We're still fundraising

The Parish Council's JustGiving page has now closed but you can still ‘buy time’ on the clock face, our target is to raise an hour, or put another way 3600 seconds, to say thank you! Please donate what you can, we would like each second on the face to sell for £2.35, (less than a cup of coffee), we hope you will agree this is a lovely and lasting way to personally say thank you from our generation, to those in an earlier generation who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

Donations by cheque can still be made until 11th November 2018, made payable to “Upchurch Parish Council” and posted to the Clerk at:
14 Trapfield Close, Bearsted, Kent ME14 4HT

A final total will be published when all donations have been received.

Thank you
