Join us in launching the  "Strength in Stone, Spirit in Community" appeal.  Get ready to be part of something extraordinary  It's an event like no other, and we want you to be there! 🎉

Register to walk, collect sponsorship, walk in the company of friends, family, neighbours and come together at the church in the evening to celebrate your achievements with hog roast, refreshments and entertainment in the form of a sound and light show.

Every registration to this event will bring us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can safeguard one of Sussex’s most treasured landmarks for future generations.

The Friends of Pulborough Parish Church exists to raise funds for the upkeep and preservation of the church building/fabric, and is not concerned with the Christian mission of St Mary's.  Any money raised by this event will be used purely for the preservation of this heritage asset.

Thank you for supporting our mission, your support is invaluable.

In 2025 Susie Reilly went to visit her family on St Helena Island. Ann Kaiser mentioned at the time that her Grandfather was born there.  Susie took some details of her Grandfather and did some family searches at the Archives Office in Jamestown and found the family line. So started their adventure in February this year to this very special island in the Atlantic Ocean midway between South America and South Africa.

Just a third the size of the Isle of Wight and with just 4,000 inhabitants it was like going back to England in the 1950’s.  We have some fascinating stories to tell, with amazing picture of this volcanic island from sheer cliffs, to lush interiors, wonderful flora and of course the very rare Wire bird.

Tickets £20 (includes wine and St Helena food)

We look forward to seeing you there!
