The
Friends of St Mary's was formed over 25 years ago to promote the work
of St Mary's Parish Church and to help with the maintenance of furnishings
and fittings within the building. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
It
is open to all who are interested in supporting the work and maintenance
of one of the finest Parish Churches in the country. There is a minimum
subscription of £5.00 per year. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
Friends committee promote the work by organising social events and
outings. An Annual General Meeting is held and all members are notified
of this by a newsletter and subscription reminder. |

Past
Projects include the repair, refurbishment and cleaning of the unique
candelabra in the North and South Transepts and repair and refurbishment
of the ledger slab in the South Transept. Recently a pair of silver
candlesticks have been comissioned by the Friends for the South Transept
Altar. Current projects include the provision of new external noticeboards. |

The
Friends at present, run the special sales items stall in church but
this is likely to change with the development of the proposed St Mary's
Centre which will include a shop. |
