For a church on the brink of closure, this must have felt like a miracle! St Wilfrid's Church in Melling, Lancashire, was facing closure after its congregation was unable to raise the £750,000 needed for urgent repairs. Then, while preparing for morning prayers, the vicar made an astonishing discovery beneath the altar, a small box containing nine gold Britannia coins worth nearly £30,000. The unexpected find has given the church a lifeline. While it won't cover the full cost of the restoration, it provides the funding needed to begin applying for grants and move forward with saving this remarkable 14th-century building. Sometimes history really does have a way of surprising us.

@SaveukChurches Why are these building not restored using public money. They obviously meet the criteria of Heritage sites. What the FUCK are we doing with all our money.

@IanStevenssd @SaveukChurches Because our government has decided that's for jews and muslims, not Christians.
