wrightsclockland.comAbout Wright's Clock Land CIO
Wright's Clock Land CIO is a charitable incorporated organisation rooted in the legacy of the 1525 Wright's Clock Land Charity, endowed by Richard Wright. Based in Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire, the funder is dedicated to preserving the Parish Church of St Vigor with All Saints, including its clock, bells, tower, fittings, churchyard, and monuments. Beyond heritage conservation, the CIO supports a wide range of charitable purposes that benefit the residents of Fulbourn parish. The funder prefers to support organisations that have already raised some funds for their projects, indicating a partnership approach rather than sole funding. Grants are typically directed toward capital projects, equipment, and limited multi-year recurring grants for grassroots efforts that enhance communal life in Fulbourn.
