Currently about thirty Church of England churches are closed for worship (i.e. declared redundant)
each year. The list shown below gives information about buildings that are available and are
being marketed for a suitable alternative use. Some of these are already under offer,
but it may be worth registering an interest with the Diocese or Agent concerned in the event
that the current proposeed use does not proceed.
Further information about the procedures involved may be found on the Church Commissioners
pages on this site.
The Church Commissioners give no warranty as to the accuracy of the description
of the property in this list.
