Where there's muck, there's brass - for Churches Churches in Cambridgeshire will be able to apply for grants as well as loans from Cambridgeshire Historic Churches Trust, as 50,000 from landfill tax credits will be coming their way. John Marsh, chairman of WREN , Waste Recycling Environmental, handed over a cheque for this amount to the Ven Richard Sledge, and signed an agreement with the Trust at Coton Church on March 12th. With Landfill tax credits increasing year by year, the annual grant to restore churches may be even greater in future.
Similar grants are also available to churches in Norfolk.
They are principally for churches which are close to landfill sites. John Marsh is on the left in the picture outside the church. Richard Sledge is the only person in a clerical collar.
