Friends of Friendless Churches

The Friends of Friendless Churches is a registered charity formed in 1957 and active in England and Wales.[1] It campaigns for and rescues redundant historic churches threatened by demolition, decay, or inappropriate conversion.[2] To that end, as of September 2018, it owns 51 former churches or chapels, 26 of which are in England,[3][4] and 25 in Wales.[5]

History

The charity was formed in 1957 by Ivor Bulmer-Thomas, a writer, former MP and a high church Anglican,[6] who became its first chairman; its executive committee included prominent politicians and architects. Initially the charity campaigned and obtained grants for the repair and restoration of churches within its remit. The 1968 Pastoral Measure established the Redundant Churches Fund (now called the Churches Conservation Trust), which it was thought would obviate the need for the Friends. However, the Church Commissioners turned down a number of buildings that the executive committee considered worthy of preservation, including Old St Matthew's Church, Lightcliffe, and St Peter's Church, Wickham Bishops. The charity therefore decided in 1972 to change its constitution, allowing it to acquire threatened buildings either by freehold or by lease. The tower of the church at Lightcliffe was the first property to be vested with the charity.[7]

Activities

The charity raises money from a number of sources. Since 1999, it has been recognised in Wales as the equivalent of the Churches Conservation Trust (which only covers churches in England), and as a consequence receives full funding for taking Anglican churches into its care. Of this, 70% comes from the State via Cadw, and 30% from the Church in Wales.[8] In England, grants are sometimes obtained from bodies such as English Heritage, as in the case of St Mary's Church, Mundon,[9] but otherwise funds are raised by donations and local money-raising campaigns. Some of the churches have been supported by the formation of local groups of Friends, such as Caldecote Church Friends,[10] and the Friends of St Andrew's, Wood Walton.[11] Members of the public can make donations, become a member of the charity, or leave a legacy in their wills.[12] In addition the charity administers two trusts,[13] one of which, the Cottam Will Trust, was established by Rev S. E. Cottam for "the advancement of religion of objects of beauty to be placed in ancient Gothic churches either in England or Wales".[14] The charity works closely with the Ancient Monuments Society.[2]

All the churches owned by the charity are listed buildings, and most are former Anglican churches, either from the Church of England or the Church in Wales, although three were private chapels: one, the Strict and Particular Baptist Chapel, Waddesdon, was a Nonconformist chapel,[2] and another, St Mary of the Angels Church, Brownshill, was a Roman Catholic church.[4]

In 2007 the charity achieved its 50th anniversary, in celebration of which they published a book entitled Saving Churches, containing details of their history and accounts of their churches.[15]

In the financial year ending 31 March 2018, the income of the charity was £422,000 and its expenditure was £447,000.[1] Its patronage is vacant, following the death of the Marquess of Anglesey[16] in 2013. The ecclesiastical patron is Rev Wyn Evans, Bishop of St David's and the president is the Marquess of Salisbury.[17] Rachel Morley has been the director of the charity since 2018,[18] and as of May 2020 there were one and a half members of staff.[19]

List of vested churches

The list is in two sections, one for England and the other for Wales. This division reflects the former management of most of the English churches by the Church of England and of the Welsh churches by the Church in Wales, and the different funding arrangements in the two countries.

11th century It is thought this was originally a private chapel for the Bishops of London, and then became a parish church. It was restored in 1850, but then became a chapel of ease in the parish of St Bartholomew. The fabric deteriorated and it was declared redundant in 1975. Since 1995 it has been used as an artist's studio.[21] II*[22]

52.2572°N 1.8748°W / 52.2572; -1.8748 (St Leonard, Spernall)
12th century Alterations were made to the church in the 14th and 18th centuries. In the mid-19th century a chancel, porch and bellcote were added. It was declared redundant in 1972. After an application for conversion to a house was declined, it was bought by the Ancient Monuments Society to save it from demolition. A series of repairs has been carried out, and since 1983 it has been used as an artist's workshop.[38][39] II*[40]
St John the Baptist Sutterby, Lincolnshire
53.2306°N 0.0746°E / 53.2306; 0.0746 (St John the Baptist, Sutterby)

13th century The church was built to serve a medieval village that has since disappeared. Additions were made to it in the 15th century.

Ruins of St Andrew's Church South Huish,
South Hams, Devon

13th century Additions were made to the church in the 14th and 15th centuries, but its fabric deteriorated and by 1866 it was considered to be beyond repair.

The charity has carried out work to slow down the rate of decay of the ruins, and services are held annually at the site.[45] II*[46]

13th century Additions and modifications have been made over the centuries since it was built. Because of its isolated position, it has suffered from theft and, since it was declared redundant, it has been subject to damage from vandalism. In addition the foundations are moving, leading to parts of the church settling at different rates. The church has been placed on the Heritage at Risk Register and applications have been made for grants towards its repair.[11][47][48] II*[49]

52.0305°N 0.1989°W / 52.0305; -0.1989 (St Mary Magdalene, Caldecote)
14th to 15th century The church stands in a deserted medieval village that was abandoned mainly during the 15th and 16th centuries.

The church has been restored with the addition of a kitchen and toilets, and it is used as a community centre.[71][72] II*[73]
Tuxlith Chapel Milland, West Sussex
51.0478°N 0.8238°W / 51.0478; -0.8238 (Tuxlith Chapel)
16th century A gallery was added to the chapel in the 17th century, and during the following century the north transept was built. Because of population growth, a new larger church was built nearby in 1879, and the chapel was used as a Sunday school. This use continued until the 1930s, but the building's fabric subsequently deteriorated and it was declared redundant in 1974. The chapel has been restored and is now used as a community centre, hosting concerts and other events.[74][75][76] II[77]
