Architecture Update: Heritage support for City churches
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.SAVE Britain's Heritage has challenged the findings of the Templeman Commission on City of London churches, which recommended that 24 should be closed, including 18 by Sir Christopher Wren. A Save report, 'City churches have a future', says that many of those threatened could be kept open with non-stipendiary clergy.
The report recommends the creation of a City Historic Churches Trust to ensure that those under threat are kept open and in good repair. Copies are available from Save, price pounds 5, including postage (telephone 071-228 3336).
