Collaton St Mary has a long history and boasts a fine church, and an active local community.
Adjacent to the church is the Parish Rooms building, shared by the community and forming a permanent home for Collaton St Mary Preschool Playgroup and a number of local clubs, societies and classes. The building is available for hire for a variety of different kinds of event. Opposite the Parish Rooms and Church is Collaton St Mary Primary School. The original school building was converted to a domestic dwelling in 2001, with a new school building now located on the former school field.
Raising the roof
Fundraising for a new roof for the Parish Room building started on Saturday 10th October with a coffee morning, followed by an afternoon and evening of magic and illusion. Tombolas, stalls and 3 raffles throughout the day made it a fun day for all.
