Covid-19 emergency grants to 28 Norfolk churches Emergency repair grants of more than half a million pounds have been awarded to 28 historic churches in Norfolk. The 28 Norfolk churches will share £513,000 from Historic England’s Covid-19 emergency heritage at risk response fund. The funds will enable repairs, conservation and investigative surveys to be carried out as soon as possible. The Historic England grant applications were processed in double-quick time, said a delighted Mid-Norfolk church architect Ruth Blackman. “It has been a terrific scheme and Historic England’s team has really helped to enable urgent work to be carried out,” she added.

A 20-year tax “concession” to help meet repair costs of places of worship could be lost from next April, a leading Norfolk church conservation charity has warned.
Norfolk Churches Trust is urging the Chancellor Rishi Sunak to continue the successful VAT relief scheme (the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme), which was introduced in 2001.
Scrapping the listed places of worship grant scheme could add at least £2.25m to the £11m cost of repairing 47 Norfolk churches identified as most at risk.
For many parishes across Norfolk, struggling to raise funds for essential repairs, a 20pc hike in costs could prove the final straw, according to the Norfolk Churches Trust (NCT).
