A Million for St Mary's Renewal

Support St Mary’s Church Restoration: Help Modernise Historic Hitchin Landmark

St Mary’s is launching a new appeal to raise funds for important facilities to be built into the Church. Currently we have a lovely medieval church but we need to upgrade to a 21st Century level in some key ways!

To provide toilets inside the building, with water and drainage for the first time in 1200 years and a small servery area plus some infrastructure like better heating we need to raise almost £1 million. As a Grade 1 historic building costs are high because of the fundamental work that is needed. To see the plans which will deliver this transformation of our facilities click the button below.

Here is the link if you are able to donate to our cause. We hope it will enable St Mary’s to provide a better service to the community who use the building for many and varied uses as well as its primary purpose of worship.

You can find more details about what we are hoping to do and the costs on this link.
