CHURCH TOWER APPEAL
'Heacham Parish Church is much loved and in usual times, well used by locals and visitors as a place of prayer, peace, worship and community life.' Rev Wilson.
However rapid deterioration in the stonework caused by roof and gutter damage means parts of the tower have become weakened to an alarming extent. Repairs will cost £25000.
If you have ever lived or holidayed in Heacham, or appreciate St Mary's historical significance, please help us to restore this beautiful building.

SAVE OUR QEH
Heacham Parish Church supports the 'Save our QEH' Campaign
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital was built 41 years ago, with an expectancy that the hospital would be updated or replaced within thirty years. The concrete roof is in serious decay, and is in need of replacement, or a new hospital to be built.
