£100,000 raised to restore church windows.
The completion of a major restoration project is being celebrated at St Mary’s church Market Weston, near Bury St Edmunds .
Only a few years ago some windows were held up by props but with the support of local fundraising, legacies and generous grants from charitable trusts , including the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust, the project was started.
A wonderful village appeal collected nearly £10,000 and the truly extraordinary sum of £30,000 was amassed by villager Gerry Smith baking cakes, sausage rolls and selling hanging baskets.
The Open Day event together with a display of historical records is timed to coincide with the 20000 spring bulbs in flower in the churchyard. It takes place on 15th March from 11 am to 1.30pm
