From the National Churches Trust website:Every church has a story to tell. They are treasure houses of heritage, history and community, ready for visitors near and far to enjoy. In every corner of the UK, we love seeing how churches, chapels and meeting houses are providing a wonderful welcome to visitors and how they’re sharing their building with others. Most churches were built to be at the heart of their communities, to be busy and used by all. Opening your doors is one of the easiest things you can do, but it sends a clear message that churches are for everyone. It also enables visitors to see the ongoing need for care and conservation. By sharing your stories, architectural history, social heritage and more you are helping the wider public understand and care for these amazing buildings. By organising events and open days, you engage with the public.
