On Saturday, 7th June 2025, the normally private gardens owned by the Church of England will be opened for public exploration, showcasing their unique, untouched beauty.

In recent days, demoralised clergy have spoken of a church in freefall, a crisis of trust between grassroots members and the national leadership.

Stephen Cottrell emphasized the need for the Church of England to reflect on the role of the archbishop of Canterbury, suggesting the responsibilities may need to be distributed more broadly in the future. This comes in light of the recent crisis where Archbishop Justin Welby's actions during the abuse scandal were called into question. The church, facing unprecedented challenges, might need different leadership expectations moving forward.
