St Mary's is a silver standard Eco Church and we are always seeking new ways to be more ecologically friendly. Most recently we have been investing in a project to change all our lighting to LED units. We have also created a wild flower meadow in our Churchyard and devoted a section of the Vicarage land for a wildlife garden.If you would like to know more about our eco group please speak to Fr Mark
