Also in thanksgiving for the life of Valerie Stone of Bridgwater.

Also in memory of Anita Morgan (died May 2022) and Ken Morgan (died January 2024) both had been lifelong members of St Mary's congregation, both holding various parish offices and both were ringers at St Mary's. They're dedication in training learners, welcoming Swansea University students and holiday visitors, ensured that St Mary's bells continued ringing over the past 30 years, until the pandemic brought an end to regular service ringing at St Mary's.
