The HLF award comes from the Repair Grants for Places of Worship Scheme.

Richard Bellamy, head of HLF South West, said: "Historic places of worship form prominent and much loved landmarks in our villages, towns and cities across the South West. 

"They are unique buildings that bring local communities together for a variety of reasons from worship through to culture and leisure. 

"Since 1994, the Heritage Lottery Fund has invested more than £500million into these precious buildings across the UK and with these new grants we aim to ensure even more are secured for future generations to enjoy."
