Blockley's fundraiser for Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust

Ride+Stride | 11 OCTOber 2025

Ride+Stride is a sponsored event to visit churches by bike, walking or any other means of travel. The event raises funds for the restoration and preservation of churches and chapels in Gloucestershire and North Bristol.

We couldn't join in the national Ride and Stride day but we will be riding and striding in aid of the Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust (who have been generous to us in the past) and our own churches on Saturday October 11th.

Dana has challenged us to do last year's route in reverse so walkers will leave St. Lawrence in Bourton on the Hill at 11:30am, stop for lunch at Blockley at around 12:30 before an afternoon walk to Ebrington, leaving about 1pm from Blockley. Please support by walking or cycling with us all or part of the way or simply SPONSOR US!

Donations can be made through JustGiving; each church has its own page. - click on the links below.

If you intend to walk, let us know so we can sort out lifts at the beginning and end of the walk. Naomi and Roger who will lead the walk can be contacted by phone on 01386 853742 or email us at BOHChurch@outlook.com.

Tea and Coffee will be available in St. Lawrence before we set off and early birds may hear the church bells being rung!
