During May 2020, the National Churches Trust is running an online campaign with the hashtag #FavouriteChurches and everyone who loves churches for whatever reason is being invited to take part in “Your Favourite Church” month and nominate their favourite church.
However to date no Somerset churches have been nominated. A spokesman for Somerset Day 365 said “We think this is a real travesty as our churches are amongst the finest in the UK and we need to ensure they are recognised and featured. Let’s not miss this opportunity for us all to celebrate Somerset !”
Someone’s favourite church might be a photographers dream, evoke childhood memories, be a great place to stop on a walk, have incredible art or architecture, be part of family history, make great cakes or just be the place they go to take time out.
A special page has been set up on the Churches Trust website where they will feature all the churches submitted. They will add new churches each week, and each one submitted will be featured on their Facebook, Twitter or Instagram channels. For more information go to www.explorechurches.org.
At the end of May a separate Somerset churches page will be created, supported by Somerset Day 365.
Entries can be submitted, ideally with a photograph take by the person submitting the entry, on the website or can be emailed to linda.patrick@nationalchurchestrust.org
