• Resumen

  • Because both the legal and religious landscapes of the United Kingdom are so varied, the law relating to the care and maintenance of religious buildings is extermely complex, being a misture of secular planning and charity law and the juridical norms of the individual religious bodies. The same considerations aplly to the financing and upkeep of the ecclesiastical built heritage -which is partly funded by the institutions themselves, partly by specific trusts established for that purpose and partly by central and local government through a mixture of tax reliefsand grant-in-aid. In an increasingly harsh economic limate, the future funding of repair and maintenance is a cause for considerable concern.
