Work is well underway at St Peter's church in Buntingford. The parapet wall on the front of the church has been expertly restored. The wall needed to come down in order to replace the damp proof course. It has been been rebuilt and looks great. Internally, the concrete render is being removed from the walls. Concrete had commonly been used until it proved to be problematic for old buildings whose walls need to breathe. Concrete traps the moisture in the brickwork causing damp problems. Once these walls have dried out, lime-based mortar will be applied in layers before the whole church is redecorated.We are very grateful to the church team and building team who are enabling this vital work to progress. Thank you also to those who have supported our church financially. We couldn't do this without you.
Thank you to all the talented artists who displayed their artwork at the Art Show held at St Mary the Virgin over the weekend of 31st May-1st June 2025. We had over 500 people visiting and this event raised approximately £2500 the proceeds are going to St Mary the Virgin church.
A huge thank you to everyone's support and donations for our Plant Sale on Saturday 3rd May outside St Peter's. This event raised £757. The money raised will go towards the running costs of all three of our churches, St Mary's Aspenden, St Peter's Buntingford and St Mary the Virgin Westmill.
