Church buildings are physical symbols of faith and they play an important role in society, heritage and history.

Learning to care for our places of worship can help ensure their future sustainability.

Maintenance and repair

Like all buildings, places of worship require regular care and maintenance.

Find out more about the fabric of your building and how regular maintenance can help to keep the cost of repairs down.

Conservation

As well as being religious, social and cultural landmarks, church buildings are part of our historic environment, rich in architectural heritage, art and craftsmanship.
