Since launching our £90,000 fundraising appeal in July, we’ve received donations from so many generous people across the community, including members of the congregation and visitors to the Abbey, Bathonians, Trusts and Foundations, and local philanthropists.
Our wonderful community has donated an extraordinarily generous £33,403 since the appeal’s launch, which is absolutely incredible! We are so very grateful to our donors for their extraordinary generosity and enthusiastic support for the Saint Alphege Window – thank you so much.
If it is within your means to support us at this time, we invite you to join us on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to honour Saint Alphege in the city and the church where his story began. To create the stunningly beautiful Saint Alphege Window, we need your help to raise a further £56,597.
With your support, Bath Abbey will honour Saint Alphege with an extraordinary new piece of Christian art, created by the phenomenally talented Neil Ireson – not only celebrating Alphege within our lifetimes as a pre-eminent figure in the history of this iconic church and the city of Bath, but also communicating Alphege’s timeless message of peace, generosity and justice hundreds of years from now, to the generations that will follow us.
