Caravan lovers planning on remembering the true meaning of Easter on their spring touring holiday may be glad to learn that several historic churches will be welcoming visitors. The Churches Conservation Trust (CCT) has recently acquired two new sites, taking the total number to over 340.
Highlights include a tiny church in Warwickshire where Shakespeare is thought to have got married, and a Buckinghamshire church with a wall painting featuring a headless St George, while some date as far back as the 13th century.
Over the Easter holiday period there will be various events laid on, including a special service on Saturday April 30th at St Swithun’s in Worcester. This Georgian church will offer music from the recently restored 200-year-old organ.
Loyd Grossman, chairman of the CCT, said: “Our Easter openings offer a chance to rediscover and enjoy these ancient, special places.”
The CCT looks after historic churches in England that are no longer in use for regular worship, ensuring their preservation for years to come.
