Keyholder

The one-stop resource for information on English and Welsh parish churches.

The Keyholder application displays information for tourists and other visitors to Church of England and Church in Wales churches, allow users to make comments, and also add photographs.

It shows which churches are open to the public during the day and which ones are locked, have keyholders or are open at certain restricted times. In addition, the app allows you to add your own information and each church has a link to all the main information sites:

IoE - English Heritage's Images of England

Cadw - The Welsh Government's historic environment service

CCT - The Churches Conservation Trust

FoFC - Friends of Friendless Churches

ACNY - A Church Near You

CVMA - Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi

CRSBI - Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland

British History (VCH) for Herefordshire.

Explore Churches - National Churches Trust

Dove's Guide to church towers (bell ringing)

Geograph

Google Street View

John Whitworth's Essex Churches

Suffolk Churches

Nottinghamshire Church History (Diocese of Southwell & Nottinghamshire)

The app is synchronised with a central server allowing you to share information, photos, ratings and comments with others.

Keyholder is designed for those interested in heritage, art and architecture who like to visit parish churches. It is not intended to provide information on service times or contact details for church officials (although this information may be added by users and is available for England on each entry via "A Church Near You").

Please Note: This is a subscription-based app. Without a subscription you will only be able to access CCT and FoFC churches across all of England and Wales plus other churches located within a few miles of Northampton, so as to get a feel for what the app provides. You will not be able to receive any updates or make your own comments or add photos. Subscriptions are available via the app. Monthly subscriptions have a free 7 day trial period and yearly subscriptions a free 30 day trial period.
