Snapped: The Footprint project

Mayor of Bath, Councillor William Sandry, joined a team from Bath Abbey as they set off on a 140-mile sponsored walk to raise funds for the Footprint project – a development programme to repair the Abbey’s collapsing floor, install an eco-friendly heating system using Bath’s hot springs and create additional space and improved facilities for the half a million people who use the Abbey every year.

 
The Mayor joined Rector Edward Mason, along with Footprint Project Director Charles Curnock and some 20 members of Bath Abbey’s congregation for the first 11 miles of the walk to Bradford on Avon.
 
A core team of four intrepid walkers – the Rector, Charles Curnock, Laura Brown Footprint Appeal Director and Jeremy Key-Pugh Churchwarden Emeritus – will continue on for the remaining 129 miles to Lambeth Palace, the official residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, where they will hand deliver a letter inviting Archbishop Justin Welby to visit Bath and learn more about the Footprint project.
