Access: Status is from the “Keyholder” app which is available from the Google Playstore for a modest annual subscription. Be aware that statuses do change over time so it is always a good idea to check church websites before travelling a long way. Even “Open” churches are often (but not invariably) closed after 5.00 pm and may not open early. Also be aware that keyholders change quite often and that they do not undertake to be available all day every day - as I have sometimes found out to my cost!  If you can contact them in advance before making a long journey that is always recommended.

If you visit a church that is locked and no keyholder is listed at the church I have found that Churchwardens and Clergy can be helpful if their numbers are shown and if you ask them nicely! Sometimes they are surprised and gratified at your interest and have unpublished information and anecdotes.. Do always consider making a donation. If the Keyholder app says “Locked”, however, then in my experience your chances of gaining entry are minimal unless you make advance arrangements.

“CCT” = Run by Churches Conservation Trust

“Limited Opening Times” means that the church is open only on limited hours and/or days. Please note that these hours can be very limited - perhaps one or two hours a week. You must check with the church.

Findability: 3 = Major Sign-posted Church    2 = Easy to find   1 = Hard to find. Do your homework before visiting.
