“It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the support of this special building, so closely linked to Burghley House, though a lot older (15th century), which is in need of much ongoing care.
St Martin, a simple, humble man, known for his kindness and care of others, has been a model for Burghley, the Cecil family and many other people over the centuries. This is an opportunity to honour his memory." Michael Exeter |
"I am very honoured to have been asked to be a Patron of the St Martin's Church Conservation Trust. Its primary connection is to the senior branch of the Cecil family at Burghley House. However, the Salisbury, and junior, branch is also proud of its descent from the great Lord Burghley and I am delighted to do what I can to support the work of the Conservation Trust. I hope those who are interested in ancient church buildings, and in particular the traditions of St Martin's Stamford, will also do what they can to support this good cause."
