The Friends of St Andrew's Chew Magna |

Why we should care St Andrew's is a physical as well as spiritual centre of Chew Magna. It has stood firm for so many centuries and will, with our help and our care, continue to stand proud in our midst for future generations. We do not have to be regular church goers to care about it. We may only go to share the candle-lit Christmas carol service or one of the life cycle services of baptism, marriage and burial. Whatever our attitude, whatever our need , St Andrew's should be there for all of us
|
| The fact that St Andrew's looks fine from a distance does not mean that the church is in excellent repair. Like any old building there is always work to be done. Neither does it have any significant reserves to pay for this work. Indeed it does not recxeive any regular funding from outside the Parish. The onus is on us who appreciate the beauty and heritage of this Grade 1 listed building to look after it. |

We need your help We are pleased and proud that the Friends have financed these important projects, but old buildings demand almost continous maintenance work We therefore hope that all who can contribute £100 will feel able to join us. Better still, if you can covenant this amount for 4 years, then we can reclaim tax. Equally you can leave us a legacy. |
