Since making my Will several years ago, my circumstances are unchanged - except that one of the witnesses has died.
Should I make a new Will?

The deat of a witness does not affect the validity of the will.Comment

Just for that one witness dying I agree no, but It really depends on what 'some time ago' means. If it has been several years ago, have you given attention to what changes may have occurred regarding property values in relation to Inheritance Tax?
As long as you are satisfied that you have taken care of everything that you can, then Wills can continue unchanged for many years. If Executors die, or perhaps become too frail to administer the Will in the best way possible, then it would be a different matter.
