Consultant Framework Agreement Review 2022

We will be undertaking a formal review (which happens every 6 years) of all appointments under the Consultant Framework Agreement during the autumn of 2022. This gives the Trust and consultants a regular opportunity to review working relationships and plan for the future.

Caring for 1,000 years of English history

Conserving exceptional churches

All churches in our care are listed, mostly grade I, and some are Scheduled Ancient Monuments. They are worthy of preservation for a wide variety of reasons, all linked to their historic, architectural or cultural significance.

All churches, while buildings of national and sometimes international significance, are local treasures that add to the quality of life of the place where they stand. Local communities have taken care of these buildings for generations, adapted them and kept them safe. At the CCT we share our skills and our knowledge to support communities to continue to care for their buildings.

In planning the conservation programme of maintenance and repair, our priority is to keep all churches structurally sound, weathertight and safe to use for communities and visitors to enjoy.
