What is it?
Ugborough Friends Group was founded in 2009
Can you imagine Ugborough without its church? Or with just a lifeless, empty shell of a building? If the historic church building is important to you, you are invited to become part of the solution –Become a Friend of St. Peter’s Church. Why should I get involved? For over 800 years St. Peter’s Church has stood at the heart of Ugborough Parish Life. It has withstood the attentions of Henry VIII’s commissioners, Royalists and Puritans in the Civil Wars and the ravages of Victorian restorers. Ugborough villagers have devoted time and resources to building, beautifying and repairing the church which witnessed and celebrated the major events in their lives- births, marriages and deaths. Despite the heavy cost of maintenance, we want to increase the churches use as a community resource as well as a place of worship. What would I be expected to do? The Friends group will organise a variety of social and cultural activities (about 3 a year) to raise funds for the restoration and improvement of the church building. But I don’t go to St. Peter’s church The Friends group is open to all who care about Ugborough church regardless of any church affiliation. Interested? Then contact Liz Tingle on 01548 821038 for more information.
