Steady as Tregoze
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the St Mary’s Church, Lydiard Tregoze in Swindon.
- Saturday, 25th of July 2020
- Led by Paul Bonner
Recipe for success: Take one overgrown church path, add 5 eager Goodgymers and a sprinkle of history from a friendly local volunteer.
Church volunteer Paul gave a thorough intro and entertained us throughout the task with the history of St Mary's church. In summary - there is A LOT of history dating back over 1,000 years including queen visits and Normandy connections.
Time flew and after 90 mins pulling weeds and sweeping up, the path looked as good as new (although it was probably laid in the 17th Century).
Then as a treat we got to pop our head in the door to see the renovation, wow. Can't say more before the big reveal in August, other than Becky was very excited by the stain glass windows.
Socially distanced coffee at the forest cafe afterwards ended a lively morning.
