Report by Mike Smith – Fund-raising event – North Tuddenham Festival May 2022

A note from Reverend Mark McCaghrey

 JULY 2021

 I am thrilled to confirm the completion of the project by the Spring of 2022 which will ensure that the Tower can remain as a spiritual symbol of the community of North Tuddenham for future generations to come.  However, the renovation of the Church also signals an upcoming need to evolve even further so St Mary’s can become a justifiable fulcrum of village life once more.

Irrespective of faith, I hope that the village will join with the Church to make St Mary’s once again part of everyday life.  By the end of the renovations, I hope there will be many opportunities to capture the momentous journey whilst simultaneously renewing a sense of positivity and progression for the Church’s place in society, whilst not demeaning its spiritual value.  The PCC is enthusiastic to work in tandem with the Parish Council to ensure the sustainability of the Church whilst maintaining a thriving life-blood for all to benefit from in the future.  North Tuddenham is a cohesive and community-centred village,  and I hope that moving forward, we can work collaboratively to find new and novel ways to enjoy the Church, once more, as a hub for village life.

With thanks and blessings.
