Our Christian Heritage

Evergreen Magazine Description:

British history, customs and traditions are all beautifully described in Evergreen magazine.

Evergreen is Britain’s best-loved quarterly, a heart-warming collection of this and that and things gone by which takes readers on a gentle journey around the highways and byways of Britain. Explore Britain’s beautiful countryside in each seasonal issue as we call at ancient churches and unspoilt villages, uncover quaint customs and curiosities, and share stories, snippets of poetry and the words of half-remembered songs with our readers all over the world.

Our travels also take us on regular trips down memory lane, with refreshing and fond recollections of Britain in “times gone by” as we revisit summer holidays, call at the village shop, savour our favourite entertainers and cherish memorable local characters. Each issue is wonderfully packed with some 20-30 short written pieces accompanied by evocative photography with a now and then feel on the best things about Britain.
