English Heritage has advised that it holds regular discussions with faith groups including the Roman Catholic and non-conformist churches about the repair and upkeep of church buildings. They meet formally through its Places of Worship Forum which sits four times a year. English Heritage’s Inspired! is the umbrella campaign for all its support for places of worship.
