The Friends of the City Churches

The Friends of the City Churches is an architectural heritage charity dedicated to preserving the beautiful and unique churches found within the square mile of the City of London. As part of our work we:

• bring together the many people who love and value the City churches
• help arrange and publicise regular church opening hours — providing volunteer 'watchers' when required
• produce and publish City Events
• organise special events and encourage extended use of the City's churches
• encourage a wider appreciation of the churches
• promote the many services and events taking place in our City churches.

The Friends are now well settled into our new home, St Mary Abchurch. Please drop by to say hello if you haven't done so already. There is a weekly Holy Communion service at 12.30 each Wednesday, and an organ recital at the same time on Tuesdays. As you will see in the Events section we are now using the church for occasions such as lectures, and it is our intention to keep this magnificent Wren church open every weekday.

The Friends are now on Twitter – and to date we have 536 followers.
