Hexton’s 12th  century St Faith’s church in an idyllic setting next to a pond, boasts half a tower! A tiny Hertfordshire village with a tiny congregation, it has struggled manfully to maintain itself, despite the ravages of time and thieves. The Trust has been pleased to help with grants towards repairs.

This Trust was established in 1991 to raise and manage funds to help the restoration and repair of churches and chapels in the counties of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire and also Barnet.

 

Our income comes from members’ subscriptions and from an annual “Bike ’n Hike” event in September, when hundreds of churches in both counties are open for visiting by sponsored riders and walkers. More details on our Bike ’n Hike page.

 

The Trust also acts as a distributive agent for church grants made by the Wixamtree Trust in Bedfordshire.
