If the churches are no longer in use why do you keep them?

For the delight and interest of all of us – visitors to this country, people whose roots are in England and future generations. Our 330-plus churches – a stunning collection – represent 1000 years of history, craftsmanship, human aspiration, triumph and tragedy, in which the story of this island is written. They are the rightful heritage of us all. Scattered throughout the country, their doors are open regularly or there are keyholders nearby. Entry is free to all.
