Monuments and Memorials
The Church of England has more than 16,000 churches and 42 cathedrals, almost all of which are home to memorials and monuments to individuals from a period spanning more than 1,000 years.

Salisbury Cathedral opened to visitors on Wednesday with over 100 people, both local and from further afield, taking the opportunity to come in for the first time since lockdown.
Emergency Appeal Launched
"They would rather die of Covid-19 than hunger” is the really distressing plea delivered by Archbishop Ezekiel Kondo in Khartoum, Sudan.
Welcome In
Where it is safe and they are able, our churches are unlocking for worship, weddings and funerals.

"Proceed with caution: risk assessment, strict social distancing, restrained liturgy and an emphasis on safety."

Our churches have now been open for private prayer since 13th June, and across the Diocese many have taken advantage of this.
They're here!
Last Sunday, 13 of our soon-to-be curates were licensed online as lay workers.
Still Zooming
The changes in guidelines that will allow many of our churches to unlock doesn't mean our new ways of 'doing church' online will stop.
Local Prayer Spaces
Prayer is at the centre of our Diocesan vision of Renewing Hope Pray Serve Grow, and our new Local Prayer Spaces allow people to both pray and enjoy the solitude and quiet of our churchyards.
