11 heritage sites across Wiltshire have been saved from decay in the last year.
Historic England has revealed its Heritage at Risk register for 2024, with 11 Wiltshire sites being removed from the list for positive reasons.
No sites in the county were newly added to the register, but there are still 148 heritage areas in Wiltshire deemed at risk of neglect, decay and inappropriate development.
Properties saved include the Church of St Anne in Bowden Hill, Chippenham, which reopened in July thanks to £340,000 structural repairs following a three-year closure.
Historic England awarded £1.58 million in grants for repairs to 94 sites in the south west during the last year, with heritage tourism generating £2.5 billion in the region in 2023.
Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England said: “Heritage is so important to the south west. It plays a vital role in out society and boosts the regional economy
“It’s inspirational to see how we can harness the power of our heritage to benefit local people across the south west.
“Together, we can save our places and find new ways to enjoy the heritage that people value so much.”
Other Wiltshire sites saved are based in Steeple Langford, Berwick St John, Amesbury, Boyton, Bishops Cannings and Bishopstrow.
