WILTSHIRE HISTORIC CHURCHES TRUST 

We provide grants to help towards the preservation, repair and maintenance of the church fabric. Applications are administered by the local archdeaconaries. Trustees and Deanery Reps meet half-yearly to award grants. Funds are raised from investment income, private donations, bequests, church donations, "Ride & Stride" and "Friends of Wiltshire Churches" membership and fund raising.
