A Bradford church is among a handful of Yorkshire sites set to benefit from a share of a new Government heritage funding package.
The Church of St John in Bowling has been named as one of 51 recipients of the Places of Worship Renewal Fund, which will distribute more than £18 million to historic religious buildings across England.
The funding is part of a wider £41 million package announced by the Government to support repairs and conservation work at 74 heritage sites through the Places of Worship Renewal Fund and the Heritage at Risk Capital Fund.
Heritage Minister Baroness Twycross said: "Nothing tells the stories of our nation quite like the historic buildings at the heart of our communities.
"But too often they are a far cry from their former glory with leaking roofs and crumbling stonework.
"Thanks to this funding, the much loved buildings that fill our hometowns with character will be keeping the doors open to communities for years to come."
Where else has funding?
Across England, 74 churches, synagogues, town halls and other historic buildings will receive a share of £41 million through two Government heritage funding programmes.
St John's is one of seven Yorkshire and Humber buildings receiving support through the worship fund.
Other recipients include the Sir Moses Montefiore Memorial Synagogue and Grimsby Minster in Grimsby, the Church of St Bartholomew in Rotherham, the Church of St Catherine of Siena in Sheffield, the Church of All Saints in Doncaster and the Church of St Agnes in Leeds.
The Government said the schemes, delivered by Historic England, are aimed at helping preserve important historic buildings in areas where fundraising can be particularly challenging.
The funding programmes form part of the Government's wider £1.5 billion Arts Everywhere Fund, with further funding rounds planned during this Parliament.
