A wonderful small team keeps the churchyard in good condition and looking beautiful. If you think you might be able to offer help with mowing or other gardening jobs we would be grateful for your time and support. Please use the Contact Us form at the bottom of this page and we will get back to you swiftly. Offers of assistance are greatly appreciated.
Friends working parties for churchyard maintenance/gardening are currently scheduled on Saturday mornings. Forthcoming dates (2024): 10 August, 7 September, 5 October, 2 November and 30 November. We would be grateful if you could let us know that you're able to come along by dropping us a line on the contact form below. Sincere thanks!
The Friends of Chalfont St Giles Parish Church is a registered charity run by a small team of volunteers who raise funds to help keep this important, ancient building in good condition. We are looking to recruit some new Trustees to help take the Friends forward.
Treasurer: If you have experience in finance and would like to join the committee as the Treasurer from October 2024, we would love to talk to you! Our current Treasurer can tell you about the responsibilities and the time involved. This role is an Officer of the charity, and subject to election at the AGM. It would however be possible to shadow the current Treasurer over the next few months until the AGM.
Events Organiser: Would you like to organise fundraising events for the Friends? Events are run with the full hands-on support of the committee, but it is the Events Organiser's responsibility to identify potential artists or activities and ensure that the practical details of the booking, profitability, marketing and running of the event come together successfully.
If you haven’t been a Trustee of a charity before, perhaps now is the time to give it a go!
Please get in touch with the Chairman of the Friends, John Davidge (jdavidge@btinternet.com or 01494 873325) to discuss either of these opportunities.
Thank you!
In the centre of the vibrant village of Chalfont St. Giles is the beautiful Church. It dates from about 1150 and houses wall paintings from the early 14th century, 16th century brasses, a locally made clock and much more. It's a place of worship and community - a place for weddings, baptisms and contemplation. The Friends help to support the preservation of the fabric of the church, its art and ornaments, environs and heritage.
