Stratford St Mary Appeal 

 

Stratford St Mary's Beautiful Church needs you!

Stratford appeal icon 

Did you know that Norfolk and Suffolk together have the largest number of medieval buildings in the world? Many of these churches  are of unique historical and architectural importance. Mentioned in the Domesday Book Stratford St Mary Parish Church is one of them. Our church boasts almost unique flush work with an alphabet frieze in knapped flints, set into the north wall, alongside the main road. The chancel was built in about 1360 and the North aisle was added by Thomas Mors a wealthy clothier in 1499.

Trying to preserve our church building is a constant challenge and we now have problems with the heritage stonework on the tower which is in need of urgent repair. For safety, the area surrounding the tower has been cordoned off. Unfortunately this includes the War Memorial  ( * please note we will still be holding our Remembrance Day  Service, with a musician from Phoenix Suffolk Brass to play the Last Post)

How can you help? We are mounting a major fund-raising effort, to undertake the necessary repair work and ensure we protect and preserve the cultural heritage of Stratford St Mary church.

Even if you are not a regular worshipper with us, please consider if you are able to make a donation to help us to maintain our church building for future generations.

This QR code to our 'Give a Little' page, provides an easy way to donate - alternatively, there is a wall safe inside the church, or contact me directly.

Thank you for reading this appeal - please help if you can.
