Heritage Films Launched
During the last year, we have worked with local filmmaker Nick Street of Street Films to write and reproduce a series of thematic films about the history of St Mary Redcliffe.
The project was supported by a generous grant from The Canynges Society, a charitable organisation that exists to raise funds to support the maintenance and restoration of the church.
The films, we can be viewed here, cover the following:
- Introduction
- the Story of the Building
- the Church and the City
- Maritime History
- Art and Literature
- Music

I'm Beth, Life Event Coordinator. Over the past few months, we have been busy with baptisms, weddings and funerals. From small wedding blessings with only a couple and a priest present to large affairs with over 300 guests we feel glad to have supported people during key moments in their lives. I've noticed that life event services need cooperation from the whole team at St. Mary's: Cleaners keeping the church spotless; Clergy and Vergers running a seamless service on the day; talented Musicians providing deeply moving music; the Events team rearranging schedules and tours to fit services in the diary; much admin preparation before the day; careful diligence from our Finance Manager to ensure every penny of donations are sent to families charity of choice. The love and care put in by the team here is apparent to me and hopefully reassures you that St. Mary's will be here for you in both the highlights and hard times that you face. Beth Herbert
