The Friends of St Peter's AGM for 2024 will take place on Wednesday 15 May at 10:30 in St Peter's Church.
The agenda will include: the Living Churchyard project, upgrading the path to the coffin walk and the Kitchen and WC renovation.
All welcome, you do not have to be a member. Coffee and biscuits will be served
Faculty permission for the Kitchen and WC renovation and Footpath Upgrade projects has been applied for and a response is expected during April. For details of these plans see the Kitchen Project page and the Footpath page.
The Friends of St Peter's (FoSP) is following the precedent of other villages, where local people like an easy way to be able to contribute to the care and community value of the church building, its contents and the churchyard, even if they are not involved in the devotional life of the church itself. FoSP is a non-sectarian group that values the church and churchyard as a valuable asset to the Stoke Fleming community and appreciates their history and beauty.

The Friends' fund is entirely separate from the normal running costs of the church, which are met by the congregation
(in Stoke Fleming currently around £26,000 pa).
You do not have to be a church goer to support this important and beautiful asset to such a special village.
Stoke Fleming has retained its church only because previous generations have looked after it, through hard times and good, for their successors. We are so lucky to live in very active village; what sort of legacy do we wish to leave for those who come after us?
