🔔 NEW APPEAL – AND A LOCAL MYSTERY! 🔔
The Friends of St. Michael’s, working alongside the
Churches Conservation Trust are launching an exciting new fundraiser: The Longstanton St. Michael’s Bellcote Fund.
This appeal will help fund the inspection, repair, and restoration of the church’s bellcote… but here’s the twist…
There are no bells. 👀
Back in 1969, the village woke up to discover that the two bells had vanished overnight. Not exactly an easy job when you consider their size, weight, and the height they were perched at! Even more incredible? Not a single person saw or heard a thing.
So where did they go? 🤔
It’s a mystery that’s been puzzling locals for decades—and now we’re shining a spotlight on it while helping preserve an important piece of our village history.
Alongside our usual events, we’ve also made it even easier to support the cause through easyfundraising.org.uk—meaning you can help raise money at no extra cost to you just by shopping online.
