Resources & downloads
A small reading room — the documents the trust thinks worth keeping public.
None of these documents is glamorous. Each is, however, useful to someone — a parish historian, a solicitor drafting a legacy, a churchwarden running an autumn meeting, a journalist on deadline. They are downloadable as PDFs and as plain-text courtesy copies.
