A Ringing Endorsement
ST Mary’s Church, Woodbridge has received a ringing endorsement from local supporters, who handed over a £40,000 cheque to refurbish the church bells.
The Friends of St Mary’s
handed over the cheque to Rector Kevan McCormack, who said he was delighted with the latest donation by the Friends which would enable the church to carry out much-needed work on its bells in the autumn. Since their launch in 2012,
the Friends have raised over £100,000 for church repairs, including exterior stonework to the North Porch and elsewhere and repairs to a number of the stained glass windows. Funds have been raised through an ongoing programme of concerts and other events as well as donations and subscriptions from over 120 Friends of the church.
For more information on how you can support the Friends, contact
