Keeping our community connected
Friends of St Mary’s Bozeat
We are Friends of St Mary’s Bozeat. We formed the FOSMB group in 2023 to help raise awareness and money for the restoration, repair, maintenance and preservation of our lovely church, including supporting the PCC (Parochial Church Council).
We are building a community of supporters who have a love for historic buildings. Keep following our Facebook page for updates on new events, fundraising, how you can donate and as St Mary’s Church was initially built in the 1100s, we have many tales that we would love to share too.
Please note we are a separate organisation to the church.

Ways to Donate to FOSMB
Built around 1130, our historic St Mary’s Church is a Grade I listed building that has been adapted over the years, but still with its charm.
To maintain, restore, preserve and repair the building itself, you can imagine it isn’t cheap, often needing specialists to help, from stained glass window repair, plastering to organ restoration. Donations are always needed and really appreciated to make a difference. To keep the church building in the best possible condition for generations to come.
Here are a few ways you can donate to FOSMB:
1) Send a one off gift donation - cheque payable to Friends of St Mary’s Bozeat*
2) Become a ‘Friend of St Mary’s Bozeat’ and pay monthly bank standing order payments. You will also be kept informed of our fundraising events*
3) Visit our events and contribute in activities (cash or contactless card payments accepted).
* Please contact Polly Howard, our FOSMB Treasurer via email: pollyhoward2011@gmail.com for more details on how to donate via cheque and bank transfer.
Thanks in advance.
