Greetham, St Mary
The pretty Grade I listed medieval church of St Mary’s has some fine carved C17th wooden panelling in the chancel, and is also home to maternity roosts of pipistrelles and Natterer’s bats.
Guestwick, St Peter
A fascinating church with beautful staned glass. We’re building new internal bat boxes to reduce the damage from bats inside the church.
Gwennap, St Wenappa
This important Grade 1 church stands at the upper end of a lush and beautiful graveyard which slopes from south to north. A short distance above the church to the south is a detached bell tower, rebuilt in the fifteenth century.
Hardwick, St Margaret
Home to a stunning St Christopher, and a small colony of Pipistrelle bats. We’re building external bat boxes to contain the roost and commissioning a survey of the wall painting.
Heybridge, St Andrew
The beautiful Grade 1 listed parish church of St Andrew’s Heybridge dates from the 12th century. Little is known about any bats that may be present.
