All Saints Church, Toftrees: A Charitable Community-Led Historic Preservation Project.
All Saints Church, Toftrees, is our latest charitable project. It's a meaningful opportunity to apply our skills in support of the community, helping people reconnect with their local history.
A Church in Disrepair
All Saints Church in Toftrees, Norfolk, serves as an invaluable community hub. However, it faces the challenges of a small congregation and significant financial costs to maintain both the church building and its surrounding grounds. Due to issues with damp and its overall condition, Toftrees Church was placed on the Heritage at Risk Register.
As part of its commitment to the local community, the church sought our help in digitising its burial records and grave information before burial inscriptions became completely illegible.
How We Make a Difference
The dedicated website we are developing for them will significantly improve community access to historical and genealogical information, while safeguarding this important local heritage for future generations.
In our ‘day jobs’, we work side-by-side with competitive, fast-moving organisations whose digital capabilities are often integral to their commercial success.
But to use our skills and experience to help members of this wonderful community discover and preserve their roots, and reconnect with their history, is every bit as rewarding.
