£1.4m to save Norfolk and Suffolk churches

St Margaret's Wattisfield.
Churches in need of repair in Norfolk and Suffolk have been given a financial boost but a rallying cry was made for more to be done to protect the region's precious religious buildings.

As English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund yesterday announced that nearly £1.4m is being given to churches and chapels in Norfolk and north Suffolk to help fund repairs, church leaders called for local communities to support their historic buildings.

Norfolk has more than 600 medieval churches - the highest concentration anywhere in the world.
  • St Margaret, Wattisfield - £26,000

    There has been a church on this site since before the time of the 'Domesday' Survey in 1086. The building reached its present shape in the 14th and 15th century and its tower is late 13thc.
