A new website has been set up to link volunteer writers with churches in need of a new church guide (www.churchguides.co.uk). The aim is that every parish church will have a guide to its history, architecture and community, to help inform visitors, preserve Britain's built heritage and encourage links between churches and their surroundings. The service is entirely free to use and open to any place of worship.

There are already many volunteers signed up, usually university students or recent graduates, willing to conduct original research for local parish churches.
