The perfect gift list for those who love churches

Christmas is almost upon us and many of us will be frantically searching to find that perfect present for people. We've created this list which is full of potential gift ideas for someone who really loves churches. Of course, we'd suggest that you have a look at our gift shop for ideas first, our Gerrard Stamp watercolour prints make a beautiful lasting gift as does our Beautiful Churches by Matthew Byrne book. But for the adventuring church lover, we suggest getting a Champing gift voucher which will allow them to camp in style overnight in one of our selected churches. The sale of these help us to care for our 356 historic churches.

Another special gift to give is buying someone a Gift Membership to Churches Conservation Trust and allow your friend or family member to connect with like-minded people passionate about saving historic churches and be a part of saving and caring for historic churches.

But here is our list of possible gifts to buy someone who loves churches:
