Saturday 24th October and Saturday 31st October special open day events at St Mary de Crypt church, 11.30 am and 2 pm, will include access to the church tower ringing chamber and to the crypt. Adults £2, children (over 10 only) free.
Please note that due to access problems this is not suitable for young children under 10 or infirm adults. Tickets available on the day at the door.
The Trustees of the church have approached the Civic Trust to help them. The Old School Room which is where the Crypt shcool started and also used by Robert Raikes for his Sunday School needs urgent repairs. Currently it’s not usable. The Civic Trust is looking to form a partnership with the Trustees and the City Council to secure grant funding to bring the Old School Room back into use once more. We are also looking to incorporate the main church building into the scheme to create a Tudor Cafeteria and to encourage a greater use of the garden at the rear for open door activities.
