On Saturday February 1st we have a Talk by Maggie Goodall, who is Volunteer Coordinator of the Friends of Friendless Churches, an organisation she describes as a tiny charity with a big task! Founded in 1957 by Welshman Ivor Bulmer-Thomas, it works to save beautiful churches that are no longer used for regular worship from demolition, decay and unsympathetic conversion. Today it cares for more than 60 buildings of architectural and historical importance across Wales and England, which are open year-round to visit. In this talk, Maggie Goodall will explore the charity’s history and take a whistlestop tour around its Pembrokeshire churches and current rescue and repair projects, including the fascinating St Lawrence’s, Gumfreston near Tenby.
