A church can hold centuries of history and still be part of ordinary life: bells over the rooftops, a choir practising, someone unlocking the door. That is what this page is here to share. Britain’s churches, inside and out, through real videos, photographs and the stories of the people around them. Grand cathedrals and tiny chapels, remarkable details and familiar parish routines. We want to help save British churches and protect the heritage they hold: our history, Christian traditions and the places that have brought communities together for generations. Follow this page and share our posts to help more people discover these churches and care about their future. Know a church, story or local tradition we should feature? Send us a DM.

The church that sparked a rescue movement was saved again. At St James’s, Llangua in Monmouthshire, Ivor Bulmer-Thomas restored the church in 1954–55 in memory of his wife Dilys; decades later, craftspeople repaired its near-collapsing medieval roof and reopened it daily.

One rescued church sparked a movement and needed rescue again. At St James’s, Llangua, Monmouthshire, Ivor Bulmer-Thomas restored the church in 1954–55 for his wife Dilys, who died after childbirth. Less than three years later he founded Friends of Friendless Churches; in 2025, craftspeople repaired its collapsing roof.

This Welsh church had to be rescued twice. ⛪ In 1954–55, Ivor Bulmer-Thomas restored St James’s, Llangua, Monmouthshire, in memory of his wife Dilys; within three years he founded Friends of Friendless Churches. In 2025, the charity completed a 14-month rescue of its near-collapsing roof.

Our churches once stood at the centre of British life and identity. Now many Britons feel their culture and heritage are fading away in front of them. Do you still recognise this country?

For decades, St Denis’s Church in East Hatley was left to decay. The medieval church was abandoned in 1961. Its floorboards disappeared, windows were broken, vegetation swallowed the building and even fragments of its Victorian stained glass were blown out. But someone saved them. Pieces of the 19th-century glass — including the face of an angel — were kept safely in a neighbour’s shed while the church stood derelict. Years later, during restoration work, those surviving fragments were returned and incorporated into the church’s new windows. St Denis’s dates back to 1217 and is now open daily once again. A tiny piece of a church that could easily have disappeared forever survived because somebody thought it was worth keeping.

When even a Muslim is saying “make England Christian again,” maybe it shows how disconnected Britain has become from its own identity. Thoughts?

You could show this footage to someone from 1970s Britain and they genuinely wouldn’t believe it was the same country.

This is genuinely scary to listen to. Hearing democracy described as “oppression” should concern every person in Britain. How is this not alarming to people?

THIS IS NOT what people expect to see outside in Britain. What happened to Britain’s Christian identity? What happened to Britain’s own culture and identity?

Wake up Britain! When these Muslims openly say they want to replace the system and reject democracy, you should probably start taking them seriously. This is dangerous for our country’s Christian heritage and values.

hearing london streets filled with worship again gives me hope for Britain 🙏

British people are finally standing up for their country, culture and faith again

One nation. One law. One Christian British identity

This North Yorkshire pub serves beer through a shop hatch. I’ve just stopped at the Birch Hall Inn in Beck Hole, North Yorkshire, where the village shop serves the pub through a little hatch and even the “big bar” has only three tables. I meant to stay for one drink, then noticed the bench, old pictures and that tiny opening in the wall (the name “big bar” is doing heroic work). That smallness is exactly why I’d linger. Lose places like this and we do not just lose unusual old rooms; we lose the sort of local where sitting together is still the whole point.

One nation. One people. One faith. Britain belongs to its people.

Samuel Leeds helping save our churches instead of letting them close. Big respect.
