List of churches preserved by the Churches Conservation Trust in the English Midlands facts for kids
St Mary Magdalene's Church, Battlefield is one of the many historic churches cared for by the Trust.
Elston Chapel is another beautiful example of a church protected by the Trust.
The Churches Conservation Trust (CCT) is a special charity that helps protect old churches. These churches are usually ones that the Church of England no longer uses, but they are very important because of their history, amazing design, or archaeological value. The CCT was started in 1968 to make sure these buildings and their contents are kept safe for everyone to enjoy.
The charity looks after more than 350 churches across England. It gets some money from the government and the Church of England. However, since 2001, they've also needed help from other places, like donations from people like you! Many people volunteer their time to help the CCT, with about 2,000 volunteers helping out. A team of trustees and staff manage the charity every day.
The main goal of the CCT is to keep these old churches in good shape and protect them from weather damage. Most of the churches are still considered sacred. They are sometimes used for special church services or even for concerts and other community events. Local people are encouraged to use these buildings for suitable activities. The churches also serve as educational places where young people can learn about history and architecture. Around 2 million people visit the CCT's churches every year!
This list tells you about 74 churches that the Churches Conservation Trust looks after in the Midlands region of England. This area includes counties like Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, and Gloucestershire.
These churches are very old, some dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period, like St Andrew's Church, Wroxeter. Others are more recent, such as St John the Baptist's Church, Avon Dassett, built in 1868. Most of them were built in the 12th and 13th centuries. All these churches are considered "listed buildings" by English Heritage, which means they are historically important. Most are listed at the highest levels (Grade I and II*).
Some CCT churches are in busy towns or cities, like St Peter's Church, Northampton or St Mary's Church, Shrewsbury. Their original purpose might have been taken over by newer churches nearby. Other churches are in quiet, isolated places in the countryside. Some became unused because the village they served became deserted, or people moved away. Examples include St Cuthbert's Church, Holme Lacy and St Peter's Church, Wolfhampcote. A few churches used to serve large country houses but are no longer needed for that. Sometimes, only a part of a church has been saved, like the tower of St Oswald's Church, Lassington.
Understanding Listed Building Grades
When a building is "listed," it means it's officially recognized as important and protected. Here's what the different grades mean:
| Grade | What it means |
|---|---|
| I | Buildings that are super special and important, sometimes even known around the world. |
| II* | Buildings that are very important and have more than just a special interest. |
| II | Buildings that are important to the country and have special interest. |
