WHO ARE WE?<br />
The <strong>Canynges</strong> Society is a registered charity dedicated to raising<br />
funds to support the maintenance of the building fabric of the<br />
church of St Mary Redcliffe, described by Queen Elizabeth I as<br />
“the fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in England”.<br />
The Society was originally formed in 1848 in memory of William<br />
<strong>Canynges</strong>, a 15th Century Bristol merchant whose generosity<br />
endowed a major restoration of the church following a lighting<br />
strike in 1446. His memorial stands in the South Transept of the<br />
church. The Society is run by a small committee of volunteers<br />
and church officers, led by a President who is nominated on an<br />
annual basis.<br />
WHAT DO WE DO?<br />
The Society raises funds for the restoration and upkeep of the<br />
church building and for the improvement and adornment of<br />
the fabric of both the church and churchyard. We rely entirely<br />
on the generosity of the public and the business community for<br />
funds to do this. The society’s principal fundraising initiative is an<br />
annual Presidential appeal.<br />
HOW CAN YOU HELP?<br />
You can support the Society by making a single or regular<br />
donation. A minimum donation of £25.00 confers annual<br />
membership of the Society which provides access to<br />
membership events and regular information about the<br />
Society and its work. All contributions are welcome - from<br />
individuals, businesses, trusts and other charities.<br />
