What we do

We care for the churches vested in us by the Church Commissioners of the Church of England, repairing the damage from sometimes years of neglect, and work with local communities to bring them alive again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every year the Trust runs over 50 specialist conservation repair projects and many more minor repairs as well as a wide range of projects and events to promote tourism, volunteering, educational, arts and community use.

The key is recognising what these buildings can contribute to modern life; whether as a hidden gem to discover during a walk on the moors, a centre for people to meet, or even, in one case, the home for one of Europe’s most prestigious circus schools. Importantly our churches remain, at heart, complete. They are never deconsecrated, their spirit remains and a few may even return to parish use if that is the best solution for them.
