The LeicesterShire Historic Churches raises funds and gives grants to help churches and chapels with restoration and improvement projects, so that they are in good condition with modern facilities - and open for worship, events and activities in the service of their communities.

Story

Very many thanks from me and Gordon for all the very generous sponsorship which has enabled us to raise a total of £1,265 through this page plus £50 offline, making a total of £1315.  With Gift Aid, you will have helped us raise more than £1,600!

We did a great ride round 10 churches in north-east Leicestershire, starting at Coston where we had a photo with High Sheriff Henrietta Chubb, then on to Wymondham, Edmondthorpe, Sewstern, Buckminster, Sproxton, Saltby, Stonesby, Watham on the Wolds, Garthorpe and back to Coston.  Not too many hills and some lovely, mainly ironstone, churches.  My main visual takeaway from the day was the preponderance of amazing medieval corbels!

Here's our original story back in September - Please sponsor us for our cycle round churches in North-East Leicestershire!  All funds raised will go to the LeicesterShire Historic Churches Trust which gives grants to historic churches and chapels throughout Leicester and Leicestershire for REPAIRS AND RESTORATION PROJECTS (for church builidngs and for contents such as organs, bells and important monuments - and also alarms to help protect church roofs against lead theft) and for RENOVATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS that enable greater community use of these treasured buildings (loos and serveries, heat and light, DDA access).
