St Matthew’s PCC are aware of a number of issues surrounding our churchyard at the moment and we are sorry for the distress this is causing relatives and friends of the deceased.
Our Churchyard is maintained by volunteers alongside the Probation team who also work in other areas of Telford and Wrekin and who have a finite amount of time they can offer.
Understanding the way that the Church of England works means that monies to pay for local Churchyard maintenance has to be raised locally through donations given by people who use the Church for services etc.
It costs £2,200 to run St Matthew’s church each month and that is without being able to afford a Churchyard Maintenance Team.
All that being said we are working on a Churchyard Maintenance plan which we will publish in due course. This plan will hopefully enable us to work in partnership with you and others to restore this
beautiful churchyard to a place even better than it was before.
