Precedents for the Adaptive Re-use of Churches

EXAMPLES OF CHURCHES THROUGHOUT THE UK AND THE WORLD THAT HAVE BEEN ADAPTED FOR RE-USE

From this page we will showcase real-world examples of how closed or redundant churches have been adapted for new uses — from residential homes and commercial spaces to community hubs, recreational venues, and continued worship. While these projects are not our own, they serve as valuable precedents, demonstrating the many possibilities for giving churches a sustainable new life. By sharing these examples, we hope to inspire and inform, showing how heritage buildings can be preserved and reimagined for the future.
