Our #ChurchOfTheWeek, St Mary's in Somers Town, London, is on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register. The poor condition of the 200-year-old building presents a safety risk that needs to be addressed so that the church can continue its vital work in the community.

A recent drone survey showed we need to replace 200 slates at £30 each. If you are able, please donate @ https://t.co/77yoEkISJg and help keep the water out of St Mary’s this winter.

@dioceseoflondon @HistoricEngland @DCMS Feeling so blessed today.

[Friends of St Mary’s, Somers Town @FriendsofSMST]

Hard to believe we’re almost 200! The then Bishop of London, William Howley, consecrated St Mary’s on 11 May 1826. Let’s make the next year transformative.

Finally! The statue of St Anthony of Padua restored. Part of our mission is to preserve the heritage of St Pancras Housing, working with conservator Tiago Oliveira. The statue was commissioned from the sculptor Gilbert Bayes, known for the ‘Queen of Time’ clock outside Selfridges.

@thevicsoc Thank you for all your support and good wishes.

[The Victorian Society @thevicsoc]

The Society, and others, spoke out against proposals to close and demolish St Mary's in Eversholt St. We are glad to see the church preparing for Easter. There are still challenges, but this is a reward to everyone who worked so hard. Our best wishes for Easter to all.

There’s a fascinating exhibition by BA Interior Architecture final year students at Middlesex University at St Mary’s this week. Thinking outside the box!

It’s been freezing in St Mary’s this winter. Thanks to the support of @dioceseoflondon temporary infrared heaters have gone in this week to give us a warm glow!
