List of churches preserved by the Churches Conservation Trust in Southeast England facts for kids

The Churches Conservation Trust (CCT) is a special charity that helps protect old churches. These are churches that the Church of England no longer uses, but are important because of their history, archaeology, or beautiful design. The Trust was started in 1968 to save these amazing buildings for everyone to enjoy.

The CCT looks after more than 350 churches across England. They make sure the buildings are safe from bad weather and don't fall apart. Most of these churches are still considered sacred, and some are even used for church services sometimes. Local communities are encouraged to use them for events and activities. These churches are also great places for young people to learn about history and architecture. Nearly 2 million people visit the Trust's churches every year!

This list shows 56 churches that the Churches Conservation Trust protects in Southeast England. This area includes Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Greater London, Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey, Kent, West Sussex, and East Sussex. The churches are very old, from the Anglo-Saxon period (like All Saints Church, West Stourmouth) to newer ones built in the late 1800s (like Holy Trinity Church, Privett). All these churches are special and are protected as "listed buildings" by English Heritage. Most are in the highest protection grades.

Understanding Church Protection Grades

Old buildings in England are given special protection grades based on how important they are. This helps make sure they are looked after.
