Unlike many of Rutland’s churches this web site is very young and will, we hope, grow into a site worth visiting for the information about our places of worship it contains.  For the present, it provides just the basic information about the Trust but it is hoped that, in time, it may become a useful site for all those who wish to learn more about the churches in this area. Although Rutland is the smallest county in the country it still has over sixty christian places of worship many of which are notable for various reasons, some historic some by association.  Simon Jenkins in his book ‘England’s Thousand Best Churches’ highlights thirteen churches within the county, i.e. about 20% of the total which, in itself, speaks volumes!  In fact, he says that “(Rutland) has more good churches per square mile than any other (county).”  Also, Brian Harris in his book ‘Harris’s Guide to Churches & Cathedrals’ draws attention to five of Rutland’s churches.

    For now,  by clicking here  you will be taken to a  list of  the churches and their locations with some help for users of Satnavs to locate them more easily.  Further links to sites containing information about Rutland churches can be found on the ‘Links to other sites’ page.

    Richard Adams, one of our Trustees and a well known local photographer, has created a beautiful presentation showing a number of Rutland churches which you are invited to download by clicking on the link below.  Anyone using Microsoft Office or a compatible Office suite such as Open Office should be able to download the presentation which , depending on the speed of their connection, may take three or four minutes.  Click  on Some Gems of Rutland above.  To exit the presentation simply press Esc.
