WELCOME
The Warwickshire and Coventry Historic Churches Trust was founded in 1978 as a part of the network of County Trusts affiliated to what is now the National Churches Trust. We are a registered charity, entirely non-denominational and self-supporting.
Our constitution requires us to set up and maintain a Trust Fund and to use this to help churches in use within the old county boundary of Warwickshire and the City of Coventry. Grants can be made available for work of repair and maintenance and can include conservation of fixtures and fittings and chattels.
Regular upkeep and maintenance of the fabric of our historic buildings is vital to their preservation as an essential part of our architectural and cultural heritage. This responsibility falls on local congregations, many of whom can no longer support the burden of this alone. Whilst wider use of the church building by the local community can help to share the load and spread the sense of responsibility for its well-being, additional funds are still needed from other outside sources, such as the Trust.
