Welcome to The Friends of Luton Parish Church
Preserving Luton’s heritage - support the Friends of Luton Parish Church
Thank you for your interest in the Friends of Luton Parish Church, a local charity dedicated to protecting and preserving the historic Church of St Mary’s, Luton’s magnificent Grade I listed building at the heart of the town.
Founded in 1965, the Friends have raised over £1 million to support essential repairs and improvements to this iconic church, ensuring its beauty and structural integrity are maintained for future generations. Through fundraising across Luton and the wider Bedfordshire community, we help safeguard one of the region’s most treasured architectural landmarks.
Our contributions have supported a wide range of restoration and conservation projects, including:
- Expert conservation of the church’s medieval stonework
- Upgrading the internal lighting system for improved visibility and ambience
- Repositioning the pulpit to improve accessibility and layout
- Installing internal glass doors to preserve warmth and aesthetics
- Refurbishing original Victorian iron gratings
- Protecting and preserving the church’s historic stained glass windows
Whether you’re passionate about heritage, architecture, or community history, supporting the Friends of Luton Parish Church is a meaningful way to help protect Luton’s cultural legacy.
