Discover Norman origins, Gothic arches, Perpendicular style pillars and arts and crafts decoration. Stand in awe of churches built in a grand style, be charmed by a converted tithe barn, by box pews and great bell towers.
Whether surrounded by trees, beside a meandering stream or river, amidst rural fields or tiny villages, or even in the heart of a town, each of our churches offer an oasis of calm, and welcoming outdoor picnic areas.
Church history embodies the life of the local community. Let your imagination fly as you read of ancient foundations, Civil War troubles, Victorian church foundings, and the two World Wars, and bear silent witness to the lives and experiences of past generations.
Our churches remain the centres of local communities, at the heart of town and village life. Here great choirs and small music groups still perform in wonderful settings, and communities worship every Sunday, yet they are open (some by appointment) to all who wish to visit, imagine and wonder.
