Since it's inception in 1985 the Friends of St Mary's have given over £65,500 towards the structural repair and protection of the building St Mary's Church Maulden.
Furniture beetle is causing severe damage to the wooden section of the Church floor. Work is required to treat and prevent further infestation and to repair the damage. This year we aim to raise money towards the cost of this remedial work.
In 1252 monks from Dunstable built a church, St Mary the Virgin on the hill above Maulden. In 1858 all but the tower and part of the north wall was demolished and the Church that we now see was erected. The Church is part of the history and architectural heritage of Maulden and as such belongs to all of its inhabitants and visitors, whatever our beliefs. In addition it provides an almost irreplacable service for most of the population of the village and is an important part of the Greensand Country.
