Projects
Restorations and Repairs supported by the TrustThe Romney Marsh Historic Churches Trust supports the local Parochial Church Councils in the repair and restoration of their churches. Without the support of the Trust, which, since 1982, has contributed grants of over £1,000,000, these churches are at risk of falling into disrepair.
Current Projects
