Although St Mary’s has always welcomed visitors drawn to this peaceful rural setting, a National Heritage Lottery funded project led to the development of a Heritage Hub in 2023 and opened the doors to all manner of new and exciting opportunities.
Our St Mary’s Heritage Hub began with just a handful of volunteers, a range of enticing research material and a huge amount of good will!
Over the course of the intervening project, we built local and county wide partnerships, recruited and trained a further many volunteers, curated a total of 3 exhibitions, welcomed more than 200 local primary school children for a costumed immersive Medieval festival, produced the first ever Woodham Fest and digitally mapped our graveyard using the latest in GPS technology.
