The objectives of the Friends of St. Nicholas are to assist in the care, maintenance and preservation of the fabric of the church. The financial pressure of increasing costs for maintenance and repair make it essential that we all help to ensure it is able to meet the demands of the future. Over the years we have supported the church fabric in a number of ways: • making a significant contribution towards the cost of replacing the lead on the roof following a theft
• paying for the maintenance of the Victorian clock on the tower, providing a portable lectern and replacing the church gates
• supplying equipment such as tea urns, curtains and a vacuum cleaner
• supplying large print prayer books
• installing the sound system
• contributing to the church flower fund
There is much we have done and, with an increasing membership, much more we can do. We invite all those who love this church to join us in our work and encourage you to become a Friend of St. Nicholas Church, Abbotsbury. Membership forms will be found in the church or may be obtained from our Treasurer, Church View, 13 Rodden Row, Abbotsbury, DT3 4JT (tel: 01305 871912).
