Our beautiful church has been serving the people of Bridgwater for over 800 years. We know that visitors to the church and to our website appreciate the work of the trustees and volunteers in ensuring this church is available for all and we are launching an urgent appeal for donations, large or small, to help us maintain the church for future generations to enjoy.

It costs us around £85,000 a year just to keep the church open and we have to raise all this money through our church members and fundraising activities. Last year we only raised £58,000 so we need now to raise an extra £30,000. We have also recently completed an ambitious and costly reordering of the church, the biggest project for more than 150 years. Unforeseen archaeology costs have used all our reserves making it difficult to meet our commitments this year.
