Last month we sealed the transfer on the first church of 2022 to come into our care. It’s St Andrew’s, South Runcton in Norfolk: an excellent rebuilding of a ruined Norman church on the side of the Downham Market to Kings Lynn Road, and one of the first Victorian churches in Norfolk.

We are delighted to have received funding in England and Wales under the Culture Recovery Fund, which will help us to repair a further eight churches.

Our people and places have been featured in several publications and websites recently, including The Spectator, The Telegraph, Atlas Obscura and the Heritage Open Days website.

A Gift Membership to the Friends of Friendless Churches includes our highly regarded magazine, a member welcome pack with our A-Z visitor guide and set of postcards, and invitations to special events. Memberships help us protect vulnerable historic buildings and keep them open for everyone to enjoy.

We are delighted that the new stained-glass window at St Peter's, Wickham Bishops in Essex has been commended for artistic craftsmanship in the 2021 Maldon Conservation & Design Awards.

We are overjoyed to announce that Friends of Friendless Churches has been awarded £1.54m from the Culture Recovery Fund programme for major repairs!
