Heritage Open Days @ St Mary’s
Heritage Open Days are organised by the National Trust and take place at venues across the country. This year St Mary’s took part on Saturday 7th September and Sunday 8th September, opening from 10 am to 4pm (Sat) and 11.00am to 4pm (Sun).
A short video (11 minutes) about St Mary’s internationally important scheme of medieval wall paintings was shown every half hour, and welcomers were on hand to point out other historically important items in the church.
The event gave us the opportunity to make available our specially developed guide for those with sight loss, using swell paper images coupled to audio descriptions via PenFriend devices.
