The Friends of St Mary's Peldon

St. Mary’s is the parish church of Peldon, a village south of Colchester, Essex.

The Friends of St. Mary’s (Registered Charity 1114809) fundraises for repairs, restoration work and improvements to this Grade 1 listed building, for it to continue as a place of worship and a community venue for use by all.

Since 2006 the Friends has raised over £50,000 for such work, but more fundraising is needed to help get this building into good order for the next generation. We intend to do just that, and enjoy ourselves along the way!

Café Church tables

Posted on 30 April, 2015

The regulars at the new-style Café Church have bought 11 new café tables, so there is no call on funds of the Friends or the Parochial Church Council. They were used at the ‘Strange Fruit’ concert and will no doubt be used for a variety of gatherings. Our thanks to their generosity.
