What are Church Objects?

Our church objects are the moveable 'stuff' of churches, ceramics, fonts, banners and very many more...

Do you have something that tells the history of your church or an object that is symbolic of your heritage? It could be a trowel from 1908 or a cake stand from 2008 - if it tells the story of your church we would love to hear about your amazing examples and feature them here.
