Tony's TOUR DES ÈGLISE 2025 for Whitwell and Rutland Churches
Why I'm raising money
The spires and towers of Rutland's churches are an intrinsic part of the county's rural scene. Within the villages they are a significant component of the built environment. But beyond their visual delight they are containers of the history of this region and it's interaction, down the years, with the wider world. And their value continues today both as sacred spaces and as a focus for community activity. The responsibility for keeping these buildings falls to village communities including the large maintenance costs involved. In this aspect, the grants provided by Rutland Historic Churches Preservation Trust, dedicated to the churches of the county, are an invaluable support.
Please donate to sustain this fund dedicated to the churches and chapels of the County. In any measure this will make my ride, aiming to visit 30 churches between 10am and 6pm, worthwhile!
