    Note: Friends of Somerset Churches and Chapels is an independent, non denominational trust formed to raise money and make grants for the repairs of churches and chapels which are open for worship in the ancient historic county of Somerset. It exists to encourage greater interest and involvement by all members of the community, whether church going or not, in the magnificent heritage of these fine buildings. Income is derived from membership subscriptions, legacies, gifts and donations and also from funds raised by the Bicycle Ride which is held on the second Saturday of September each year.
