Greater Churches Group

Greater Churches Group

Anglican Portal

The Greater Churches Group is a self help organisation within the Church of England.

Aims

It aims to provide help and mutual support to its member churches in dealing with the special problems of running a "cathedral-like" church with the organisation and financial structure of a parish church. The group meets every few years in conference to share ideas.

Several of these buildings are former monastic properties that were converted to parish church use after the English Reformation. Others are large parish churches built at a time of great wealth. What they share in common are the requirements to offer facilities to a large number of visitors, host special services, offer community access and fund the specialist maintenance and repair of these large Grade I listed buildings.

There are currently 19 churches within the Greater Churches Group:
