English Heritage (EH) has launched the regional Heritage at Risk registers across the country this week, with news of successful projects as well as information on sites still considered to be under threat.
EH writes:
Over the past year we have focused much of our effort on assessing listed Places of Worship, visiting those considered to be in poor or very bad condition as a result of local reports. We now know that of the 14,775 listed places of worship in England, 6% (888) are at risk and as such are included on this year’s Register. These additions mean the overall number of sites on the Register has increased to 5,753. However, 575 sites have been removed from the 2013 Register.
