Our Purpose
Our Purpose
The aim of The Friends of Pirton Parish Church is to stimulate the interest of all the inhabitants of the village in St Mary's Church, Pirton in Hertfordshire. To assist the work of restoration and maintenance of the fabric of the church and its precincts. To encourage and support all that is done to add the beauty and usefulness of the church and its precincts.
As the structure of partly 12th century, St.Mary's is one of the prominent and central features of our village. The Friends are keen to ensure that this heritage continues in order for the future generations to enjoy.
What we've done
What we've done
The Friends main fund-raising activity is Open Gardens, an annual event now firmly fixed in the calendar and diary of visitors, many from outside the area. With ongoing finacial support, The Friends have - over the past few years - been able to pledge funds for the refurbishment works on major projects. These have included: church porch, west window, sound proofing of the bell chamber, church lighting, repairs to gates and decoration of the organ. However The Friends are not resting on past successes - there is more to be done. With the continuing help of loyal supporters further funding is being raised which will be pledged to the Parochial Church Council for them to progress projects.
