Places of worship are a priceless part of England's built heritage, but this legacy poses enormous challenges. How are they going to be maintained so that future generations can enjoy them? How do we balance the needs of congregations with the desirability of conserving our heritage? How do we protect buildings that are no longer needed for worship?
