St Mary's 2000

 “St Mary's 2000” is the project that was initiated in 1997 to raise funds to provide the facilities needed to enable the Church to fulfil its role in the 21st century. The project was divided into two phases:

•  Phase I was to repair the north, south and tower roofs, and then to repair the tower, install a new bell frame & re-pair and re-hang the bells. All of this work has now been completed, the bells having been re-hung in the summer/autumn of 2010.
   
• Phase II is the building of new facilities with a meeting room, office, store, kitchen and toilets. Planning permission for the new facilities was granted a number of years ago and some funds have already been raised for this part of the Project.

English Heritage have been involved in every aspect of the work and a grant was received from them for the re-roofing of both the south and north aisle roofs. Grants have aoso been received from a number of bodies including Bucks Historic Churches and the Great Brickhill Parish Council.

Fundraising events take place on a regular basis - for details of those events go to the "Events in GB" page.
