Statistics

As noted elsewhere, I forget where, I regard a church as accessible if it's open, has a keyholder/s listed or is redundant or ruined, and on this basis Huntingdon and the Soke of Peterborough does well with an impressive 71.76% being accessible - even if I didn't gain access to all of them.


Total Churches 131
Keyholder listed 26 19.85%
Locked 37 28.24%
Open 60 45.80%
Redundant/Ruin 8 6.11%
Not visited yet 0 0.00%
Visited 131 100.00%



Accessible churches 94 71.76%

This compares with Cambridgeshire 74.15%, Hertfordshire 58.16%, Essex at 50.69% and a total average across all churches visited of 64.25%.

Interestingly - at least to me - if you combine Huntingdon with Cambridgeshire, i.e. creating modern day Cambridgeshire [but not quite because Peterborough is a Unitary Authority Area which is separate from Cambridgeshire - albeit most people, of a certain age, regard it as being part of Cambridgeshire] the statistic for 'modern' Cambridgeshire changes to 73.21%.


Hunts/Cambs combined
Total Churches 336 100.00%
Keyholder listed 57 16.96%
Locked 90 26.79%
Open 170 50.60%
Redundant/Ruin 19 5.65%
Accessible churches 246 73.21%
