There is no disputing the importance of churches and chapels in shaping the nation’s heritage: they account for 45% of all grade I listed buildings in England. AHP has unrivalled experience in advising on the challenges facing the future use of historic places of worship, and is able to offer high-level strategic as well as local and particular advice. This may take the form of major diocesan or interdenominational reviews (such as English Heritage’s Taking Stock programme), individual studies (Conservation Statements and Statements of Significance), advice relating to grant schemes and on the adaptation and reuse of churches and chapels no longer required for worship.
