VOLUNTEERS at St Mary's Church are appealing for donations to help a major modernisation of the Bridgwater landmark.

The work being undertaken includes new heating, lighting and sound systems and the removal of many of the pews to create a flexible space in the town centre for public events.

A spokesman for St Mary's Church said: "Although the funding for much of this work has been sourced we are now appealing for people to contribute to the floor tiles and to the new chairs which will supplement the remaining pews.

Sponsoring a tile cost £5 to get a name, of £25 for families of up to 8.
