Cambridgeshire 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 Cambridgeshire tops the charts at 74.15% accessibility.


Keyholder listed 31 15.12%
Locked 53 25.85%
Open 110 53.66%
Redundant/Ruin 11 5.37%
Not visited yet 0 0.00%
Total visited 205 100.00%



Accessible churches 152 74.15%

This compares with Huntingdon/Soke of Peterborough 71.76%, 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 Cambridgeshire with Huntingdon , 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%.
 
Cambs/Hunts 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%
