Tell us about your church’s royal connections

15 February 2012

To celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, ChurchCare – the Church of England’s online resource caring for its 16,000 church buildings - is collecting stories about the regal links between churches, cathedrals and the monarchy.

ChurchCare is looking for tales of visits, burials, baptisms, commemorations, weddings, funerals, battlefields, blessings and more. They are especially interested in accounts involving Queen Elizabeth II, but your stories can come from any period in history. Whatever your royal connection, ChurchCare wants to hear about it!

Anne Sloman, Chair of the Church Buildings Council, said: “These individual histories will be woven together to create a ‘Royal Trail’ around England’s churches and cathedrals, celebrating the unique links between churches and the Crown in a remarkable Jubilee year.”

The Royal Trail will be publicised and promoted via www.ChurchCare.co.uk.

The deadline for submissions is 1 May 2012. Please send any information or queries to ben.greener@churchofengland.org or visit www.ChurchCare.co.uk.for more information.
