The activities coordinator is a challenging but exciting three year role, to enable more people and diverse groups of people to engage with, enjoy and reflect upon the heritage of our wonderful 15th century parish and priory church, which sits in the centre of town like a jewel in a small green oasis.

St. Mary’s is a living place of spirituality, music and heritage which is widely used, visited and loved by many people in the community.
