St Mary’s Cathedral and St Margaret’s Chapel in Edinburgh have received a share of a £584,081 “urgent payout” grant from the National Churches Trust designed to save important heritage and keep churches and chapels in use.
The external stone walls of “Category A Listed” St Margaret’s Chapel have been cracking and the roof needs urgent repairs, with buckets being used to collect rainwater around the building. The chapel will receive a £10,000 “Wolfson Fabric Repair Grant” from the Wolfson Foundation to repair the roof and masonry to prevent further water damage.
