Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
2022 was a successful year for FRPC. 3 fundraising events were organized. The first in May was a concert by Silver Sax, a Derby based saxophone band which had people foot tapping in the pews. The second in August was a barbecue hosted by the Gould family at Cokhay Farm when we were lucky with the weather and enjoyed a social afternoon with excellent food in a lovely setting. Our first annual lecture in October was given by Professor Martin Biddle to a full church reminding us of the historical significance of the crypt and updating us on his current thinking about its dating followed by more detailed discussions down in the crypt itself. All of these were well attended and enjoyed by all those who came resulting in an addition to funds of £2,600. 3 different information sheets have been produced to help visitors appreciate the history and features of the church depending on their interests and 2 newsletter were sent out keeping Friends informed. Work is progressing on the production of a new guide book. It is intended that this will be self financing, sales covering initial outlay in time. Introducing people to the significance of the church and churchyard, and promoting understanding of its history will raise its profile and further the objects of the charity through additional financial support. |
