Welcome to The Tower Stories
In May 2023 The Friends of St Michael’s the Archangel Church in Mere, Wiltshire rejoiced in winning a £247,843 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund towards their project ‘The Tower Stories’. Along with generous donations from the community and other grants this means that the Church Tower can be restored, the Church clock re-gilded and an exciting community programme developed.
The community programme brings to life the Tower’s rich and varied stories by creating new, family friendly interpretations of the Tower’s rich heritage and the part played by the stonemasons, the gilders, the architects, the bell ringers and the local people of Mere.

This website keeps you up to date with what is happening, who is doing what and how to get involved. It is not a faith led project but a community project which is open to all. The Tower Stories are innovative, creative, informative and inclusive. They place St Michael’s and its tower at the hub of the Mere community.
