Chard and Ilminster News writes:
Nominations include a burnt out Grade II* bank in Crewkerne, a 17th century farmhouse, a cinema, a chapel and a castle.
Each building has its own particular story and needs energy, expertise and determination to be helped back to useful life.
SAVE’s Buildings at Risk Register exists to bring disused historic buildings of all ages which could be repurposed to national attention.
Nominated by supporters, local campaigners, conservation officers and other heritage professionals, these are places that matter to us all and deserve wider recognition.
The register is a national platform for raising awareness of neglected historic buildings and advocating their reuse as a means to ensure their survival.
Here are the neglected buildings in Somerset, each of them with great potential for reuse, that have joined the register.
