It has just been announced that the Government's "Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme" has been extended for another three years until 31 March 2025. This scheme gives a grant to cover the cost of VAT on repairs etc to listed places of worship. Their website is here: http://www.lpwscheme.org.uk/
Any listed churches undertaking work on bells should make sure that they make use of this arrangement as VAT of course usually 20% so this makes a significant saving.
