Heritage Morning and 'Gift Day'

Saturday 8th November

9.30am to 12.30pm

​

Have you ever wanted to see inside the bellringing chamber?

​

Or wondered how the Church Organ works?

​

Have you looked down on the inside of the church from up in the Vestry?

​

Or wanted to learn more about the history and heritage of St Mary’s Church?

 

As a focal point of Woodbridge for many centuries, St Mary’s Church has so many stories to tell…

​

You are invited to come along for a rare opportunity to:

  • Join a mini Church Tour, led by Canon Roy Tricker, BEM

  • Climb the 52 steps up to the Bellringing Chamber

  • See the Church from a different perspective by going upstairs to the Vestry

  • Look inside the Organ - it’s fascinating!

  • View the amazing 5-volume record of all the artefacts contained within St Mary’s

  • Read the Book of Remembrance – normally only on display on Remembrance Sunday

 

You can:

  • Learn more about the Memorials

  • Explore some Family Links

  • View some of the Vestments (robes worn by clergy and choristers)

  • Listen to our talented Organist and Director of Music play the piano and organ

  • Visit the Churchyard

  • Find out about the ‘Friends of St Mary’s’ and how you can support them

  • See our Building Project Appeal display, and find out how you can help

 

There will be:

  • Activities for Children

  • Refreshments available

​

How can you help?

 

You may already have heard something about our Building Project Appeal, but last winter our boilers failed, and this has become the priority for our fundraising appeal.

​

We are working towards a warmer church, and your support would be very welcome.

​

This event will include a ‘Gift Day’ element, where you can learn about the different ways in which you can offer help for the benefit of all who use this splendid building for worship, concerts, exhibitions, meetings…

 

and to preserve it for centuries to come.

 

Anything from an ad hoc donation on the day (by card or cash)

 

to registering for Gift Aid and becoming a regular donor via our Parish Giving Scheme,

 

please come along and talk to us.

 

We look forward to seeing you.
