[QUOTE="teslacoils, post: 8088465, member: 127792"] Almost all churches are grade 1 or 2 listed. The process is very, very long and involves a lot of London bods. There are many options including community use such as a museum or tearoom; being taken on by the churches trust which looks after particularly snazzy churches; finally sale fir alternative use if this is practical. Simple fact is that based on previous "usage" the church was costing maybe £200 per person per service and that's before repairs. Reality is that myself and my wife both attend churches out of the parish. My own personal view is that church is not about the buildings. That a more pragmatic use would be to take it down; sell the building plot; reuse the stone to build a new one where it would be used. There's a huge split between folk who give money simply to preserve the building, and those who require a place of worship. As an aside, my local town has gone from one to three "happy clappy" Christian churches who regularly expand and do lots of outreach. CofE in rural Lincs is dead. [/QUOTE]
