The full Media Release about the award from English Heritage in London is attached. Paddy Pugh, English Heritage’s London region Director said, “London’s historic places of worship are an invaluable component of what makes the capital special. We are delighted to be able to announce these grants – they provide a crucial lifeline to cherished listed buildings. The grants enable the buildings to remain in active use at the heart of our communities. We are especially pleased that buildings used by such a broad range of religious groups are being awarded grants this year. “Sandy Row Synagogue
is not only a fantastic example of east London's architectural heritage
with a fascinating history, it is a focus for community activity. They
are worthy recipients of the largest ever grant awarded to a Grade ll
listed synagogue under this scheme, which will be used for urgent
repair works.” |
