Historic Chapels Trust
==Foundation and Purpose==
The Historic Chapels Trust cares for redundant non-Anglican churches chapels and other places of worship in England. Established in 1993, it takes into ownership buildings of exceptional architectural and historic significance that are no longer used by their congregations. In practice this means buildings listed Grade I or II
* by English Heritage. It was founded in response to the large number of places of worship that were being demolished or destroyed by insensitive conversion and it remains the only body with this mission in England.
Once acquired, the buildings are repaired and restored, and then available for new community uses. The places of worship can be of any denomination or faith, other than the Anglican Church. To date they have included Nonconformist chapels and churches, Quaker meeting houses and Roman Catholic churches. The Trust has the power to take synagogues and non-Christian places of worship but in spite of negotiations has not yet done so. The Trust arranges for the chapels to be open to the public at advertised times, and wherever possible it introduces disabled access. Its policy is that the chapels should be used for community activities, including concerts, lectures, conferences, exhibitions, and any other activity compatible with conservation of the building. The Trust also encourages the use of the buildings for services of worship.
