THE FRIENDS OF St MARGARET’S
ABOUT
The purpose of the Friends is to conserve, maintain and improve
the fabric, furnishings, and fittings of St Margaret’s Church, Hothfield, to
support the upkeep of the building and to foster public interest in the
building.
Each year the Friends hold several events in the Church both as a
means of raising funds and to attract people to the Church. Recent events have included a Christmas Tree
and Craft Festival, a Wedding Dress Exhibition, several choral concerts as well
as talks and sales of local produce.
In addition, successful grant applications have been made to
Garfield Weston, Friends of Kent Churches and Godinton House.
Our most recent project involved funding the creation of a
kitchen/servery area at the back of the Church, including storage cupboards,
fridge, dishwasher, hot water heater, sink and work surface area to enhance St
Margaret’s facilities and enable it better to offer light refreshments to
visitors to baptisms, weddings, funerals or fund-raising events.
