St John the Baptist Church

St John the Baptist Church is among the many historic places of worship in the UK facing urgent repair needs, with reports indicating that as many as 3,850 churches require immediate attention to their roofs within the next year. This situation highlights a larger cultural and community crisis as many churches, chapels, and meeting houses struggle with the rising costs of maintenance and repairs.

The Listed Places of Worship Grants Scheme serves as a vital support for these historic buildings, covering 20 percent of repair costs, but its future remains uncertain. As many churches are now pressed to fund repairs on their own, the risk of disrepair and closure looms over significant elements of the nation's heritage.
