St Mary’s Church in Acton is participating in ‘Heritage Open Days’ – England’s largest festival of history and culture, writes Jonathan White.
The Grade 1 listed building on Monks Lane is opening its doors to welcome all.
The Churchyard records will also be available for visitors to research.
Their “Heritage Open Days” participation takes place this Saturday September 7 between 1.30pm and 4.30pm, and on Saturday 14th September from 9.30am to 12.30pm.
A representative from St Mary’s Acton said: “Churches have an amazing story to tell of the Christian faith through the centuries.
“Christian heritage is something to be cherished, celebrated and shared.
“Church buildings encapsulate stories of lives touched by God, of local and personal history and of exceptional creativity that expresses and uplifts our faith.
“We extend a warm welcome to everyone – please do pop in.”
