English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund have today announced more than £15.5 million to support urgent repair work to 150 Grade I and II listed places of worship across England. The grants have been awarded under the organisations’ joint Repair Grants for Places of Worship scheme. The majority of recipients this year are Anglican churches, but there are also buildings belonging to other denominations and faiths. These range from the impressive New West End synagogue in London to St John’s Methodist Church in St Austell, Cornwall. Since 2002, £107.7 million of grants have been awarded to almost 1,200 Grade I and II historic places of worship through the partnership scheme.
