The Friends of St Wulfram's
Founded in 1952, the Friends’ objective is the preservation and beautification of our splendid building and its contents. Membership is open to all who share a love of the building.
The Friends are a registered charity with the members deciding all major expenditure at the AGM in October each year.
The lively programme usually comprises lectures, fund-raising and social events, visits to churches and a monthly lunch club.
For over 20 years we have produced a St. Wulfram’s Christmas Card each year.
