William Byrd Memorial 2023
We have experienced such delight
in celebrating the life and music of William Byrd in this 400th year
since his death.
The long connection between
William Byrd and St. Peter and St. Paul Church Stondon Massey is one we hope to
continue to celebrate in the years to come. In light of this, we have plans to erect
a memorial to William Byrd on the outside of the church.
The proposed plan is for a slate
memorial with free-flowing script to be situated on the wall to the left (west)
of the porch. We hope that this will become a draw and delight for those
interested in William Byrd, in history, in church music and in the local area. We
hope to have this memorial in place during this anniversary year.
We would very much appreciate
your support in fundraising for this work of art. You can contribute with a
gift at one of our William Byrd events during July 2023 or you can give online
