Saving our churches is saving something fundamental about Britain itself, the Britain that still believes in fairness, hospitality and humour. The Britain that knows how to queue politely, laugh at itself and show up when someone needs help. The Britain that looks after one another quietly and without applause…We need to see these churches not as burdens but as gifts; as the infrastructure of kindness. #greatexpectationsforchurches

#ICYMI @HistoricEngland 's research shows there is strong public support for preserving the nation’s historic churches. This was even the case among people who are secular or who do not attend church services. But why does this matter now? Read more➡️ shorturl.at/bMin8

The deadline is fast approaching to nominate your volunteers at this year’s #NationalChurchAwards. Submit your entries by midnight Thursday 31 July➡️ nationalchurchestrust.org/volunteers2025 💒👏

Tucked away in Lincolnshire is Aslackby St James the Great – our #ChurchOfTheWeek – and five stories it is waiting to share with you. Heading into the church, pause in porch first to admire the graffiti. Then, as you head inside, prepare to meet some extraordinary people.

Welsh chapels/capeli cymraeg are such a vital part of Welsh heritage. But across the country, many have been forced to close, in part due to repair costs and no wider support available. Once they're lost, they're lost forever. Time is running out to save them.

Teddy Bear Day - Sunday 3rd August Have you a #bravebear who will dare to #parachute from Cadney Church Tower? achurchnearyou.com/church/14888/s… #lincsconnect @lincsblogger @NicDakin55 @ChurchesFest @AuntieMongo @RichardStead @peter_levy @Therabbits21

A selection of fine #Lincolnshire #FontsOnFriday from last weekend's @ChurchesFest. Some in splendour, some quietly enduring.

@AlabasterMiss Did you visit Linwood this weekend and meet the cute black Labrador welcoming committee?

For #MementoMoriMonday #MonumentsMonday, two fabulous and remarkably complete(ish!) #brasses from St Cornelius, Linwood during @ChurchesFest yesterday. Early 15th c, John & Alice Lynwode d1419 & John Lyndewode, d1421, both merchants. #Lincolnshire

The Ramblers' Church! Sitting high on the hills in Walesby, Lincolnshire (yes we do have hills).

We have loved reading all your posts as usual - you are our ideal visitor @AlabasterMiss 😍

Pretty little Claxby! @ChurchesFest

Day 4 of @ChurchesFest & first stop is Lissington St John the Baptist. Steeped in birdsong. This is a gorgeous #StainedGlassSunday window! Those angels seem very Arts & Crafts to me.
