Closed Churches Available for Disposal
Around twenty Church of England church buildings are closed for
worship each year. The list shown below gives information about
buildings that are available for disposal 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 proposed use does
not proceed.
Further information about the procedures involved may be found
on the closed churches pages on this site.
The Church Commissioners give no warranty as to the accuracy of
the description of the property in this list.
