Text Box: Friends of Polebrook Church
Text Box: Will you help us to preserve the heart of our village?
Text Box: The character of our beautiful village is in no small part due to our marvellous church, which has been standing there since 1140, almost nine hundred years.

The upkeep of churches anywhere these days falls on the shoulders of fewer and fewer people, and this prized village asset is no exception.

We believe that all residents of Polebrook benefit from the appearance and good state of the church and its surroundings, and that this is a matter of interest to all of us.

Will you help? We are asking you to become a Friend of Polebrook Church and join those who already give financial support by contributing a regular amount to its upkeep (see form overleaf). 

*50p per day is about £15 a month: what we are looking for  is a contribution of £5  a month or more to the Friends of Polebrook Church.

HELP PRESERVE OUR 
VITAL VILLAGE ASSET!
