To commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War, we have hung 562 origami Doves of Peace in our Parish Church: 104 red doves represent the Attleborough men who died in the Great War, 458 white doves represent the Attleborough men who served and returned. All the doves have been made by members and friends of St Mary’s.
Come in to see this powerful and moving display. The church is open every day from at least 9am to 5pm.
As you look at them, give thanks for the sacrifice of so many, and pray for the gift of peace in our world today.
You can light a candle near the altar under the tower at the far end of the church, and there are commemorative prayer cards to take away.
We've also got three There But Not There 'Tommies' in the nave of St Mary's, kindly sponsored by parishioners. They speak to us of those who never came back to their places in their homes, churches and families. The funds raised from this national art project will go to help heal those suffering from the hidden wounds of war.
