St Mary the Virgin, Bunny with Bradmore

The largest church in the Benefice (and indeed in south Nottinghamshire), St Mary the Virgin stands in the middle of the old part of the village of Bunny.  It  is used for all manner of events in addition to regular Church Services - see the benefice calendar. The children from the local C of E Primary School are regularly invited and many events take place in which they are included. A WARM WELCOME will be extended to you if you wish to join us for any services or any of the other events which take place in our beautiful roomy church.
Our church wardens are Penny Wakefield and Mrs Heather Paul and they would be happy to speak with you.
The village of Bradmore is part of the parish. Its small church consists of a tower with attached room which which was built after most of the church was burnt down in the great fire of Bradmore in 1705.

The upkeep of C of E churches in this country is the responsibility of the members of each individual church. At St. Mary's, this includes keeping the fabric of the building in good repair, maintaining the graveyard, paying for the running costs such as lighting and heating, as well as the expenses involved in keeping the church open both as a place of worship, including baptisms, marriages and funerals, and as a centre for community activities. In addition we are required to give a portion of our income to the diocese as a 'quota' or 'parish share'. Three-quarters of this pays for clergy stipends, housing, and pensions, and the remainder pays for the necessary central costs of the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham.  We raise money by donations, service collections, part of the fees from the aforementioned marriages and funerals, bequests and, importantly, from the Promise Programme, in which Bunny residents generously undertake to donate a monthly sum in order to enable the church to continue to exist as a place of worship. Then there is, of course, fundraising.
