In picturesque and peaceful grounds 

At the heart of our historic town

Stands the majestic St Mary’s church 

Embattled tower, her parapet crown

 

The church bells ring out on Sundays

But not for four months or more 

Due to the recent virus pandemic

She was forced to close her doors

 

Small services are about to resume

Once more church bells will ring

A reassuring sight and sound

As the congregation gather to sing
