Support the Priory
There
are several ways that you can help support the Christchurch
Priory so that it's beauty can be preserved for generations
to come.
Join
the 'Friends of the Priory'
The Friends of the Priory Church Christchurch was
formed in 1964 by a small number of local church members.
It has now grown to include many people from all around
this country and the wider world who wish to maintain
a link with this historic and beautiful church.
The
Society was granted Charitable Status in 1997 and aims
to assist in the repair, conservation and improvement
of the fabric, to support activities to preserve and
beautify the church and to make gifts to benefit it.
The
Friends have recently provided new carpeting and curtains
in the Lady Chapel and have paid for the re-gilding
of the Tower Clock and the installation of a new sound
system in the church. They have also commissioned a
new stained glass window in St Stephen's Chapel.
Local
members enjoy a series of interesting talks throughout
the winter and spring, and meet socially three times
a year besides. Members further afield are kept in touch
by mailings in May and September.
You
can become a friend and help us cherish this wonderful
and ancient church by contacting the Membership Secretary,
Friends of the Priory Church, The Parish Office, Quay
Road, Christchurch, Dorset, BH23 1BU, or by printing
a copy of the form
and sending it with the appropriate membership fee to
the Membership Secretary.

Donations
If
you would like to make a donation to Christchurch Priory
you can be certain that it will be used in the best
possible way to help the church.
To
maintain the church and to ensure its future as a place
of worship and pilgrimage, it costs £600 per day.
The church is not supported by state funds and relies
on the support of the local community and its
visitors for funding.
If
you are a UK taxpayer, the tax you have paid on the
amount of your donation will be reclaimed by the PCC,
if you will print, and then complete, the form
and send it with your donation.
Note: The form will open in a
new window. When you have printed the form, simply close
the window.
