Our beautiful Grade 1 listed church is over nine hundred years old. There is much to do to maintain and improve the fabric so that future generations can continue to enjoy St Mary’s.
The Friends aim to maintain and beautify the fabric of St Mary’s Church and its churchyard – not just for the benefit of those who worship at St Mary’s, but for all who live or work in the village and see the church as an asset and a focus for the community.
Founded in 1977 by a group of people concerned to play a part in caring for the ancient building, the Friends raise money to pay for essential maintenance work on the building and churchyard. A major slice of the Friends funds goes towards paying for works identified in the statutory surveys carried out every five years. Other supported projects include areas such as gates, lighting and mower repairs and preservation of the medieval rood screen.
Anyone, of all faiths or none, and whether or not they worship at St Mary’s, can become a member of the Friends.
To find out more about how you can help, from a one-off donation to becoming a member, visit the Friends website or pick up a brochure from the church.
