An organisation formed to raise funds for the care and renovation of the fabric of the building. You do not need to be a ‘church-goer’ to join the Friends, but just value the beauty, history and heritage we are so fortunate to have in our parish church.
Cleaning the internal north wall
Work progressed so well that the cleaning programme was extended to include the west wall and various parts of the south wall too! This has made a tremendous difference to the appearance of the inside of the church. Thanks and well done to everyone involved.
Lightning protection
The Friends are funding the replacement and upgrading of the lightning protection system. This is a fairly large-scale undertaking for which everyone at St Mary’s is grateful. Work on this is due to begin later in the year.
