Welcome to Ware
With the brown signs due to be erected on the A10 to advertise the virtues of Ware should the town go further and add signs to the entrances to Ware, such as "Welcome to the historic town of Ware". These could be erected at the 3 main entrances to Ware, just north of Wodson Park, where the houses start from the south and as you leave the A10 round-about onto the B1001 from the west (once it's been tidied up). This would lead visitors to the town centre, even if they only intend to pass through out of curiosity, where local business may pick up passing trade. Does anyone else believe as I do that we should promote our town more.

I agree we do have a Beautiful Historic Town.
And we should be proud of it we have some lovely old buildings.
The Parish Church of Saint Mary, The Priory, Place House, Scotts Grotto, All are worth a visit.

Thanks AJ, I thought I was on my own for a while.

It is heartening to hear that brown 'tourist' signs are to be erected on the A10 to promote the town. No doubt it will feature the 'historic church' sign for St. Mary's. No quibbles there - the church (especially its font) is well worth a visit. However, as a lover of churches, I have often changed my itinerary on seeing a 'brown church' sign only to find the church locked. I think St. Mary's is usually locked and so we might end up having some frustrated visitors hoping to explore its charms.

St Mary's Church is open to Visitors on most Saturday and Sunday afternoon's, Unless there is something on in the Church.
Or there is no one to man the Church. Then it is Closed because of the Possibility of Vandalism it is a lovely Church very old and well worth a visit.

I like the new signs that have been put on the Bridge over the river.
How long will they stay without being Vandalized.

Saint Mary's Church Ware, It has two Services on a Sunday Morning.if you are around about 11am you might be lucky to get in. After Parish Eucharist,Why dont you go to 9-30 Eucharist I am sure you will be made most welcome. It is also open Friday Morning for the Flower Arrangers but not during Lent, or Advent,
