A UK Agency Holds The Keys To Staying In An Abandoned Medieval Church

If there is one thing that most of us appreciate, it is being able to go on holiday. Some people wait an entire year for the perfect opportunity, and they want their holiday to be full of relaxation along with adventure. Sometimes, they will even go out of their way to do something unusual and this UK company may just have your ticket.

It is known as Champing, and there are 12 different locations that are in the area of London. In fact, you would only have to travel a few miles to the outside of London to be at any of them. It is perfect for people who live in the Metro or for others who are willing to travel to the area.

The Churches Conservation has invented a rather unusual practice of camping in the abandoned medieval churches. It might just be the perfect vacation for somebody who would like an unusual adventure. In fact, it may just be unique to the UK, as none have turned up in other parts of the world.

In a nutshell, you can leave London and explore the English countryside and have a rather unique place to stay. Not only would it have a roof and a toilet, it has hundreds of years of history and some rather interesting architecture as well.

There are some 300 churches that are preserved by the registry and some would’ve gone into ruin if it weren’t for the assistance of these types of programs.

You don’t need to be a religious individual to take part in this type of holiday. There is even the possibility of having wine delivered from local wineries if you request it.

When you see what some of these churches look like, along with the surrounding area, you may just be ready to book your weekend holiday now.

This church in Fordwich, Kent is more than 800 years old.

It is smaller than Saint Michael but then again, Fordwich is the smallest town in Britain.

The town hall, which was rebuilt in 1544, is still standing and has the original interior timber.

It is also reported to be the smallest town hall in all of England but there is plenty to see at the church.

Yes, it has a creepy graveyard and an awesome pipe organ

The pews have even been pushed together to form a bed
