  1. Previously there were tours available through my old school at St Mary’s on the Sunday but cannot see them on the list now. Have those tours been cancelled

    1. The tour time of St Mary’s School has been changed to 9-11 am Friday 25th October. There will be an all faiths service at St Mary’s Church at 9am on Sunday 27th. Thanks for your query!
