The Government has opened a new £92 million programme to support repairs to churches, chapels, mosques, synagogues and other historic places of worship across England, in one of the largest heritage interventions for the sector in recent years.
The Places of Worship Renewal Fund, announced in January, will distribute £23 million annually over four years. Funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and administered by Historic England, the programme is intended to support urgent repairs and improvements to listed places of worship that remain active religious buildings.
