Story
Chikere, Geoff, Aleks and Chris will be setting out from St Mary’s Church Lewisham crossing the channel by ferry to Dieppe on Wednesday 16th July, arriving at Notre Dame Cathedral, then onto St George's Anglican Church in Paris before their Sunday mass on 20th July.
We're raising money for the church bells which hang in the medieval tower of St Mary the Virgin Church, Lewisham are in need of restoration. It is important that we preserve the bells as part of our history for future generations to enjoy whether ringing them or hearing them ring out. The bells were originally cast at Whitechapel in 1776 and the last restoration of the bells themselves were in 1894.
The cost of the bell restoration is estimated at £73,546 (excl VAT).
