#StMaryLeStrand is the official Church of the Women’s Royal Naval Service & The #AssociationOfWrens & Women of the Royal Naval Services. During the 1984 dedication, a ‘Book of Remembrance’ listing those Wrens who died in the Service from #WW1 onwards, was moved from the #RoyalNavalCollege in Greenwich to a display in the Church.

Memorials to those Wrens who lost their lives at sea during #WW2 on the SS Aguila & SS Khedive are inside the church of #StMaryLeStrand. The ladies of the #AssociationofWrens generously paid for the restoration of the bell tower & gifted the blue kneelers, the carved Paschal candlestick & a green altar frontal. Details of the Wrens annual carol service are listed in 'The Wren.'

After 2 World Wars & 300 years of wear & tear, #StMaryLeStrand is in need of restoration & some of it is urgent. In 1984, the Spire was rebuilt & since then, award-winning new steps & railings have been erected in the East; the gates & gate posts in the West conserved; & 19th Century railings, walls & pave stones in the churchyard restored. Save the #JewelintheStrand

Expert restoration of #StMaryLeStrand includes paintings by #MatherBrown & 10 #Nave windows beautifully reglazed with 18CE glass. The blue-glass in the sanctuary dates 1946 & is the work of parish architect #SidneyToy FRIBA who replaced the originals after they were destroyed in #WW2. Yet more work needs to be done to save the #JewelintheStrand

With a renewed mission & ministry #StMaryLeStrand stands in the heart of the regenerated #StrandAldwych area. Plans are in place to restore & redevelop the church so it is safe, accessible and fit for purpose in its new role as a place of worship & sanctuary; a public democratic space for communities & as the centrepiece of a newly pedestrianised piazza. #JewelintheStrand

Churches do not generally receive government funding & money is needed to restore #StMaryLeStrand. The restoration work includes the stonework on the roof; electrics & heating systems, the western vestibule & steps, interior redecoration & the exterior cleaning. All this could cost over £lM. Donations are needed if all the work is to proceed. Help save the #JewelintheStrand
