🧱 CHURCH SPIRE URGENT APPEAL: Save a Bromley Landmark
Our historic skyline is in jeopardy. Can you help us preserve it?
While undertaking vital roof work costing £24,000, structural engineers discovered an emergency: our beautiful church spire is resting on rotting timbers and has been declared unsafe. Structural restoration will cost an additional £37,000.
St Mary’s has stood as a beacon of comfort, local history, and architecture in Bromley for generations. Whether you join us for Sunday worship, visit our community outreach groups, value our local school links, or simply appreciate the beauty of this historic landmark on your daily walk—we need your help. Preserving this building means keeping a piece of our shared local history alive.
Please prayerfully or thoughtfully consider making a donation today. Every single pound keeps this safe space open and accessible for all.

Every single donation preserves local history and helps protect our historic community landmark.
🙏 The Impact of Regular Support
What is deeply vital to the daily running of St Mary's is regular financial giving. Having predictable income makes community budgeting much simpler, allowing us to focus on local outreach, youth programs, and keeping the church at the heart of Bromley.
We are also incredibly grateful for one-off anniversary gifts, collections, and legacies, which directly fund our capital improvements and long-term community infrastructure.
