Worcestershire & Dudley Historic Churches Trust
The Worcestershire and Dudley Historic Churches Trust [WDHCT] is able to award grants toward the preservation, repair, maintenance, improvement or upkeep of any Christian Church within the geographical area of the Diocese of Worcester or the county of Worcestershire. The Trust also promotes the education of the public in the history and architecture of churches.
Grants may go towards the large and small scale restoration of historic buildings of all periods including twentieth century, including roof and wall repairs, rewiring or archaeological investigation, as well as the conservation of ancient or more modern features including stained glass, wall paintings and monuments.
On a very rainy Wednesday in October, we embarked on the second WDHCT church tour, and despite the wet weather, the day was absolutely wonderful, with everyone in high spirits. (more…)
Thank you to everyone who participated in Ride & Stride 2024. Sponsorship money is still being collected, half of which goes to help Historic Churches in need and half to churches nominated by the participants. We hope that all those taking part as sponsored visitors or by opening churches enjoyed the day, and we look forward to next year’s event in September 2025.
