The Ickworth Church Conservation Trust (ICCT)The ICCT was set up by Frederick, 8th Marquess of Bristol to safeguard the future of Ickworth Church. His half-brother the 7th Marquess bought the Church off the Church Commissioners (after they made it redundant) in 1986, after which it fell into a state of disrepair. The plan is now to restore the Church to its former glory and keep it open for the public to enjoy. www.ickworthchurch.org.uk [http://www.ickworthchurch.org.uk]
