Church and State

A register of the UK's closed and at-risk churches, chapels and meeting houses — the buildings half of the country's most important historic fabric sits within, and that hold up much of its social infrastructure besides. A companion to The Guardian's reporting series.

The status colours indicate what is happening to each building, not how old or how grand it is. Madder reds mark the at-risk; verdigris greens mark the rescued and the long-preserved; stones mark the closed and the lost. Every cluster bubble takes the dominant colour of the buildings inside it.
