Campaign 2023

 

 

A campaign is underway to raise £3 million to safeguard the future of St Mary’s ahead of its 900th anniversary in 2023.

Campaign 2023 aims to raise £2 million to fund urgent repairs to the landmark tower to avoid its closure, and a further £1 million to build an endowment fund to ensure the fabric, music and ministry of St Mary’s for the next millennium.

To find out more, please visit the Campaign 2023 website at www.stmaryscampaign2023.org.uk where online donations can also be made.

Tower Repair Work

    

The first phase of our tower restoration project - to construct protective scaffolding around the lower half of the tower - is now complete.

 

The west (main) door is once again back in use.

 

The remainder of the tower will be scaffolded, and restoration work carried out, once we have raised the necessary funds.
