If you look at the top of the flagpole above the tower, you will see a golden crown. This represents the strong connection between St Mary’s and the Sovereign, ‘who has long held the Manor of Hampton’. You are invited to join us in the churchyard on 4 June as we celebrate this long-standing connection by coming together as a community and raising a toast to Her Majesty to thank her for her 70 years of service. Starting at 11am you can expect, amongst other things, Live Music, a Traditional English Tea Tent, Barbecue, Bar, Bouncy Castle and Crypt Tours.
