Church welcomes recommendation on cathedral funding
The Church of England has welcomed a recommendation from the House of Commons Committee of Public Accounts that cathedrals should receive direct funding from Government. The recommendation, contained in the Committee's newly-published report on Promoting Participation with the Historic Environment, states:
"English cathedrals represent some of our most important architectural heritage yet many of them charge the public for entry. These buildings are expensive to look after and the Department and English Heritage should work together to find ways to fund their conservation so that they can be less reliant on charging for entry, which could deter people from visiting."
