The Churches Conservation Trust

About us

The Churches Conservation Trust is the national charity protecting historic churches at risk. We have saved over 350 beautiful buildings which attract over 1.8 m visitors a year. Our unique collection of English churches includes irreplaceable examples of architecture, archaeology and art from 1,000 years of history. With our help and with your support they are kept open and in use – living once again at the heart of their communities.

Without our care and your support, the buildings we look after might have disappeared completely. Instead they are enjoyed as cultural, social, tourism and educational resources, kept open, in use and living once again in the heart of communities. Our churches remain consecrated and can be used for occasional worship.
