The Churches Conservation Trust (initially known as the Redundant Churches Fund) is a charity whose purpose is to protect historic churches at risk that have been made redundant by the Church of England.[1][A] It was legally established by the Pastoral Measure of 1968. This allows "for churches which have been made redundant by the Church of England, for which the diocese has been unable to find any alternative use and which are of exceptional historic, architectural or archaeological significance, to be ‘vested’ in the Trust by the Church Commissioners".[1] The finance for this comes partly from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the Church Commissioners. Grants from these bodies were frozen in 2001 and since then some of the money needed by the charity has had to be found from other sources, including the general public. As of September 2010, the Trust cares for over 340 churches.[1] In the 12 months ending on 31 March 2009, the charity's income was £5,499,740, and its spending was £5,295,643. During that year it had 40 employees, and used the services of 2,000 volunteers.[2]
Its primary aim is to make the buildings weathertight and safe for public use, but it is recognised that they continue to be buildings for the use of the community. They all remain consecrated, and many are used occasionally for worship. The buildings are also used as an educational resource for children and young people to study history and architecture. Local communities are encouraged to use the buildings for suitable activities and events. Over 1.5 million people visit the Trust's churches each year.[1] The charity is run by a board of trustees who delegate the day-to-day management to a chief executive and his senior management team.[3]
This list contains the 62 churches cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust in South West England and covers the counties of Bristol, Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.[4] The majority are rural village churches, often with falling populations. Iin one extreme case at Imber in Wiltshire which is part of the British Army's training grounds on the Salisbury Plain, the entire civilian population was evicted in 1943 to provide an exercise area for American troops preparing for the invasion of Europe during the Second World War. Since then non-military access to the Church of St Giles has been limited to several open days a year.[5] Despite the dominance of rural churches others such as St Martin's Church in Exeter and the Church of St John the Baptist in Bristol are in major centres of population. Although many of the churches are built on the sites of earlier places of worship the oldest current building in the list is the Old Church of St Nicholas at Uphill, Somerset, which is largely roofless but is still consecrated and occasionally used for services. The most recent construction in the list is St Mary's Church in South Tidworth, Wiltshire which was built in 1878. In addition to the existing fabric of the buildings, with some such as St Mary's Church in Wilton, Wiltshire, being largely ruined, many also have impressive interiors, often dating back many hundreds of years. St John the Baptist Church in Inglesham, Wiltshire, is one of the churches in the list with wall paintings while others have highly decorated pulpits or Reredos. Many of the churches still host Anglican services, however others are used by other denominations or have been converted for secular use, such as a private house at St Thomas à Becket Church in Pensford, Somerset and St. Paul's Church in Bristol which is now in use as a performance space and circus skills school Circomedia.

c. 1080 | The church stands on a cliff top over looking Brean Down and the mouth of the River Axe.[7] During the Roman period a Romano-British temple was erected on the site. There is evidence of a wooden church on the site around 700AD during the Anglo-Saxon era, and the port at Uphill may have been a centre for pilgrims travelling to Glastonbury Abbey.[8] The current Norman stone building has a central three-stage tower, chancel and unroofed nave.[9][10] The building was remodelled in later Middle Ages and restored in 1846. The porch was rebuilt in 1904, although the church had been partly in ruins since the building of a new parish church in 1844.[11] | II* |

12th century | The church shows clear signs of the Norman church upon which later structures were built.[25] Pevsner cites the Norman arcades and narrow aisles characteristic of that era and "never enlarged to satisfy later medieval taste." He dates the church to "hardly later than c. 1110."[26][27] The Churches Conservation Trust launched a programme of repairs at the church, with the Somerset County Council conducting an archaeological recording and survey in conjunction with these efforts.[28][29] | I |

It includes a collection of mediaeval carvings, in the form of elegant corbel-heads, roof bosses, and externally in the form of fearsome gargoyles.[31] Attendance at the church dwindled and it closed and was declared redundant, then being taken over by the Redundant Churches Fund in 1978.[32] The last service in the church was in 2002.[33] | I |

The interior includes box pews, pulpit and altar rails, and the remains of wall paintings.[36] | I |

12th century | The church was established by the prior of the Augustinian Priory at Plympton in Devon.[37] In 1150 the church was dedicated to St Antoninus King and Martyr.[38] After the dissolution of 1538 part of the priory was used as a residence and parts were pulled down: much of the stone went towards the building of St Mawes Castle.[39] The church still has its original mediaeval cruciform plan, more or less as it was built in the 12th and 13th centuries, despite having being extensively restored in the 19th century.[40] The church is now one of three in the care of the priest-in-charge of Gerrans and Philleigh. | II* |

The church is no longer used on a regular basis with three services a year being held.[49] | II* |

12th century | The cruciform church was started in the 12th century and revised in the 13th and 16th centuries,[57] and underwent a major restoration in 1831. Subsidence because of low lying damp ground caused further damage, and by 1866 the decision had been made to build a new church.[58] This was dedicated to St John the Evangelist, designed by John Loughborough Pearson and built on higher ground 700 yards (640 m) to the north west, opening in 1868.[58] Only the chancel remains in usable condition and was used as a mortuary chapel.

The church is located just above the surrounding water meadows adjacent to the confluence of the River Thames, River Coln and the Thames and Severn Canal.[60] Much of the fabric of the building is from the 13th century,[61] but includes remains of an earlier church on the site. The interior includes wall paintings spanning over 600 years and often one of top of the other up to seven layers thick.[62] There is also a carving of the Mother and Child which dates from the time of the Anglo-Saxons.

![]() |
13th century | It is a small, mostly unaltered medieval church with a leaning tower, which started to settle towards the southwest while being built, due to the peaty foundations which the church was built upon.[73] This meant that the 15th century tower was never built as high as was intended.[74] The church is externally Perpendicular in style, with an earlier Saxo-Norman nave. The interior of the church is very light with a floor of irregular stone flags into which several ledger stones are set. The oak box pews on the north side of the nave are probably early 18th century, and the oak reading desk and pulpit are Jacobean.[75] | I |
