Friends of Waltham Abbey Church
Registered Charity Number: 1044663
The Friends of Waltham Abbey Church was set up during the 1960s restoration of the church. The aim of the Friends is to help raise funds for the upkeep, maintenance and enhancement of the church fabric. Everyone is encouraged to become a member of the Friends of Waltham Abbey Church; we have members all over the U.K. and abroad.
The Friends hold an annual Evensong, where members enjoy an informal tea beforehand and a guest preacher is invited. There is also an annual social outing to a place of interest.
The Friends shop is in the Lady Chapel. It has many items including bibles, study books, historical books, church guides, souvenirs, cards of various kinds and other Waltham Abbey Church items. The shop is manned entirely by volunteers and is open at the following times:
- Wednesdays, after the morning service from about 11.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.
- Fridays and Saturdays from about 10.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.
- Sundays, after the morning service from about 12 noon to 4.00 p.m.
Membership forms are available online or in the shop. If you are a U.K. taxpayer, you are invited to complete the Gift Aid form so that we can reclaim the tax you have paid on your donation. Please return completed forms to the Parish Office, marked for the attention of the Membership Secretary, Friends of Waltham Abbey Church.
We look forward to welcoming you.
You can contact us by emailing friends@walthamabbeychurch.co.uk or by writing to us at the Parish Office.
