Church of the Week
Wyke Regis, Dorset
At Wyke Regis All Saints in Dorset, our Church of the Week, two stained-glass windows and their supporting stonework are being saved from further deterioration. Thanks in part to a Large Grant from the National Churches Trust, future generations will be able to enjoy these beautiful windows. The stonework around them, which dates back to 1455 – the late Middle Ages – has eroded so much that it's put the glass at risk. A grant of £19,532 from the National Churches Trust will enable urgent repairs to the stonework, so that these beloved windows can be saved. All Saints church attracts people from all over to enjoy its medieval craftsmanship, but it's also a living place of worship, a focal point for the village and a vital community hub. “We are immensely grateful to the National Churches Trust for this generous grant, which will make an immediate and lasting difference to our church and to the wider Wyke Regis community,” says Vicar John Mackenzie, on behalf of All Saints Church. “This grant allows us to act now, safeguarding these precious windows and ensuring the church remains open, welcoming, and at the heart of village life for generations to come. We simply could not have achieved this so quickly without the National Churches Trust’s support.”
