We are delighted to announce that St Mary’s has recently achieved a Silver Award in the A Rocha Eco Church Scheme. This follows on from our Bronze Award in May 2022.The award could not have been achieved without the involvement and encouragement of many people, and we are extremely grateful for everyone’s input, particularly in the churchyard.We shall be having a little break from the scheme now, but will continue with Eco Church activities, as action to prevent Climate Change and biodiversity loss is too important to be put on hold.

Heating in Church Those who have visited our church since Christmas have most probably noticed that the indoor temperature is now much lower than we were accustomed to. Over the last three years we have enjoyed a very reasonable gas rate, but because gas is so much more expensive now, we cannot afford to keep the heating on every day. The PCC have therefore decided to turn the heating down to a minimum to save money. The church will now be heated for services and routine church activities, but at other times we suggest that you wrap up warm.
