Architecture Update: Heritage support for City churches

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).
