Cornwall Historic Churches Trust funds the preservation and repair of historic churches and related religious buildings in Cornwall and the Duchy of Cornwall, with a strong emphasis on keeping the building fabric sound and usable. Their grants are highly practical and maintenance-oriented, often supporting urgent repairs to roofs, walls, windows, timbers, heating, lighting, fire safety, and other elements that protect historic structures from deterioration. They appear to favor small to mid-sized capital projects at local churches, including both Anglican and Methodist buildings, rather than general programmatic support.
