This #weekend might be the best time to see sundials at our churches in action. But cool historic churches are also great places to spend a hot day.

To #staycool the old-fashioned way and save energy, find your nearest church on our website: https://t.co/gl96S51tJM

[Churches Conservation Trust @TheCCT]

Historic churches are cool during hot weather, with their high ceilings and thick walls providing a shaded sanctuary from the blistering heat. Why not stop by one of our sites to cool off? We welcome dogs too, as we know our furry friends can also struggle in the heat.
