Greetings! - we are aware this section is not terribly easy to use, and doesn't yet contain a general introduction. We hope to fix this soon.

This page concerns the future of church buildings in England.

With slowly declining congregations (in common with many Christian denominations), what will happen to our Church of England church buildings?

We have organised the available information into four sections.

Building Faith in our future - the Church of England strategy for church buildings, available online

How do we keep our parish churches? - a booklet of facts and figures, out of print, but available online

Additional information about parish churches, including news stories - a series of online resources, some on this website, other via links

Minutes of the meetings of English Heritage Places of Worship Forum. English Heritage's consultation with the sector.
