Charitable Trust History
St Margaret’s Babington Charitable Trust was formed in 1994 with the purpose to maintain the fabric of St Margaret’s Church, the adjacent Churchyard and land. It took on a 999 year lease for the Church from the Church of England Diocese of Bath and Wells.
Whilst the Church and Trust are independent of Babington House, they work together to ensure this Grade 1 listed building is maintained for the local community, members and friends.
Both Trust and Babington House work tirelessly to raise all the necessary funds for the upkeep of the church and are always most grateful for any donations.
The Church may be used for Christian services and for appropriate cultural events with the permission of the Trustees.
