Under One Roof programme

Under One Roof Photo Challenge!

Under One Roof is a community heritage project in and around St Mark’s and the local area.

St Mark’s Church in Shelton is an important community landmark. Take a photo of a view St Mark’s Church in Shelton from any place or angle. #U1RPhotoView

Take a photo of yourself in your favourite facemask, to show how we have all taken part in Under One Roof during such difficult COVID times, yet can still be together. #U1RPhotoFaces
