King Arthur’s Great Halls in Tintagel, a 12th-century Benedictine abbey and a steam-powered Victorian pumping station are among 175 heritage sites deemed at risk this year.
Meanwhile 233 sites have been removed from Historic England’s annual “heritage at risk” register. Many have been saved as a result of rescue efforts by volunteers, community groups, charities and local councils, with £8.6m in repair grants awarded by Historic England, the public body that looks after the historic environment.
