Heritage Open Day - St Martha's

Following our recent Heritage open day, the following feedback was received from the organisers - well done all involved!

• I walk past this church when I hike but is not open in the week so was a great opportunity to go inside and learn more about it, the verger I spoke to was awesome and gave me so many special nuggets of info about the church and site. This was by far the best HoD event although Abbots Hospital did come close ;-)
