The Trust (formerly The Redundant Churches Fund) was set up to care for Church of England churches no longer needed for parish use. All the churches are architecturally or historically important with most Grade I or Grade II.
Set up in 1969, the Trust now cares for over 325 churches.
Ten churches in Essex are cared for, including St Andrews at Willingale.
