Buckinghamshire Historic Churches Trust (BHCT) was founded in 1957 by the then Lord Lieutenant, Sir Henry Aubrey-Fletcher, and the Bishop of Buckingham, the Right Reverend Robert Milton Hay, who had collected the sum of one hundred pounds to be held and applied by them.
With funds raised since then from the people of Buckinghamshire, the Trust has given grants of over £1,000,000 towards the repair and restoration of over 300 churches of all denominations in the County and continues to do so, at the rate of some £60,000 each year.
The Trust is a Registered Charity No: 206471
