The Friends of All Saints’ is a charitable organisation formed to assist in the preservation, protection and improvement for the public benefit of Brightlingsea’s historic All Saints’ Church.
The Friends oversee the maintenance of the church and its surroundings, from the day to day essentials such as preparing the church for services, to major projects including essential maintenance of its historic structure.
Built in 15th century, the Great Tower has withstood the elements for nearly 600 years, but ensuring it will remain standing for another six centuries requires a significant programme of restoration.
Maintaining a church of such architectural and historic significance is an ongoing battle and one which the Friends face with endless enthusiasm and determined commitment. As part of their role the Friends assist with fundraising and grant applications. Alongside their ongoing maintenance programme, the Friends have been working for almost a decade on a major project to ensure the structure’s future.
