13 Churches Across Hfm Region On ‘At Risk’ Register

13 churches in the Hfm Region are under threat because of concerns about their condition.

They are listed on Historic England’s new ‘At Risk’ Register.

The annual register lists historic places at risk of being lost due to neglect, decay or development.

Fundraising campaigns are on-going at many of the churches, in a bid to carry out repairs.

Louise Brennan, Historic England’s regional director for the Midlands, said: “Our heritage is an anchor for us all in testing times.

“Despite the challenges we have all faced recently, this year’s Heritage at Risk Register demonstrates that looking after and investing in our historic places can bring communities together, contribute to the country’s economic recovery and help tackle climate change.”
