St Mary’s would like to thank everyone in town for their concern and kind words of support following the recent fire at the church.
A door to the rear of the church was badly damaged and will need to be replaced, but thankfully the fire didn’t spread to the inside of the church. The main issue inside will be dealing with the smell of smoke, meaning carpets and upholstery will need to be cleaned.
It’s quite clear that the fire was deliberately started, so if anyone does have any information which may help the police with their enquiries, we would encourage them to contact West Mercia Police quoting incident number 68i of June 9, 2025.
Thank you again
