South Crosland, Holy Trinity
The building
The property comprises an imposing, stone-built, Grade II Listed church building dating from the early 19th century. Constructed in ashlar stone, beneath a pitched slate roof, the church features architectural detailing, including arched doorways and a prominent tower with large square-section pinnacles. The church is surrounded by a heavily buried churchyard, giving little scope for external amenity space. The building has a single-storey extension to the rear (built c.2000), which could potentially be removed to create external space. The churchyard is closed for burials and will remain in the ownership of the Parochial Church Council (PCC), who will remain responsible for maintaining it. The freehold interest in the property is offered for sale. The final 'red line' is to be agreed, but will include only the footprint of the building and its immediate curtilage, and none of the grave-covered churchyard. Easements relating to access will be granted over the churchyard in favour of the purchaser.

How a group buys it
- A reader enters a pledge: a name and an amount, recorded on this page. It is a declaration of intent, not a payment. Nothing is charged, and a pledge may be withdrawn on request.
- When the pledges against the building cover the asking price, together with a reserve for closing costs, title, survey and the first year of upkeep, the page closes and the pledgers are introduced to one another.
- The group settles its legal form: a nonprofit, a co-operative, a land trust, or a single buyer collecting donations. An attorney drafts the instrument, and a title company or solicitor holds the funds in escrow.
- The purchase completes, and the group decides the building's use: worship, a hall, a school, housing, or simple preservation. The deed records the arrangement.
