“[It] stands as an invitational space, a welcome sign, encouraging people to come and explore our town.

“Whatever the reason, [people] are welcome at St Wulfram’s, and by extension they are welcomed in Grantham.

“After Easter we typically see more people visiting St Wulfram’s and we would like your help.

“Why not join our volunteer team and be a steward at St Wulfram’s?

“A steward is a friendly face who, after a bit of training from us, can point people towards this bit of Saxon stonework or the Norman capitals.

“Stewards will be local people who know a bit about Grantham and its highlights.

“A steward is someone who is a point of contact who helps people linger in Grantham a little longer than they might, directing visitors to a good café or pub.

“If you have time to give, why not join our stewarding team.”
