The Trust is planning to repeat the very successful one day seminar held in 2007.  The main focus this time will concentrate on concerns raised by recent changes in grant aid for churches; with presentations from major funding organisations (and other grant giving trusts). The programme will also include information on issues that affect church fabric and tips for grant finding and making successful applications.

English Heritage has this week published a new edition of this guidance, first published in 2003. The document provides advice on how to approach making changes to historic places of worship and sets out English Heritage's general views on the subject. It also contains detailed advice on some common issues and an outline of the processes for authorising such work. It is available as a pdf only, pending the publication of the National Planning Policy Framework. Once that has been released, a revised edition of New Work will be published as a pdf and in paper copy. For now you can download a copy here...
