Thank you for visiting our Ride & Stride Justgiving page for St Edward's Church, Stow-on-the-Wold. 

Ride+Stride is a nationwide event. All around the country,  thousands of people will be sponsored to travel on 12th September 2020 from church to church by walking, cycling or other mean of travel. In our case, funds raised are split between the Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust and St Edward's, Stow. At St Edward's, we plan to commit the funds raised towards updating the building's interior.

St Edward’s is a special building. The site has been a site of worship for over 1,000 years, holding a central place in the town's history and the story of the English Civil War 1642-1646. The building has been extended and adapted in most generations to meet the changing needs of its worshippers and community. The time is now right to set it up for 21st Century challenges.

We aim to update the building:

• to accommodate all styles of worship;
• to provide a space that meets the needs of local communities; and
• to offer an even better experience for our many visitors from all over the world.

Even though 2020 is an unusual year, we hope to pass on this precious gift from our rich past, revitalized and renewed for the future.
