From The Telegraph-A £1.8m pilot scheme has been launched to preserve some of Britain’s listed places of worship that are at risk.
The Government-funded scheme, which will be managed by Historic England, will fund urgent repairs and help volunteers maintain listed buildings including churches, synagogues, and meeting houses in two pilot areas, Suffolk and Greater Manchester.
The two regions were picked because one is more urban and other other more rural, with the project designed to implement recommendations from last year’s Taylor Review which examined the sustainability of English churches and cathedrals.
The report found that church buildings play a "vital role" in offering public services, and give communities a sense of identity.
