About The Friends of Checkley Church
The object of the Friends of Checkley Church is the preservation, repair, maintenance and improvement of the building, fittings and fixtures of the parish church of Saint Mary and All Saints in the diocese of Lichfield.

Since the inauguration of the Friends in 1996,with their help, grants have been made for the installation of a mechanical clock, extensive internal alterations to the tower including facilities for the disabled and external metal guards for the fourteenth century stained glass windows which are unique and irreplaceable. They have also paid for the restoration and relocation of the King George 1 royal coat of arms.

The Committee has arranged several successful money-raising events each year, including coffee mornings, choral concerts, dances and dancing displays, talks on birds by local broadcaster David Tideswell , lectures on aspects of the church's history by members Fred Johnson, Margaret Johnson and Clive Smith, a historical fashion show by Notty Hornblower and also concerts by the ever-popular "Young at Heart" Company and the V.C.O. and Trent Valley Big Bands.

In 2006 the Friends became a fully registered charity (no 1115219).
