A £57,000 grant has been awarded to the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St John the Baptist in Norwich to address urgent repairs.
The cathedral, placed on Historic England's Heritage At Risk register last year, has been facing issues due to increasing leaks in its roofs and drainage system.
Tony Calladine, Historic England's eastern regional director, said the grant would "help identify and address urgent repairs needed to protect this magnificent building." He highlighted the cathedral's significance, calling it "not just an architectural treasure, but a vital part of Norwich's cultural and social fabric."
The cathedral, completed in 1910, is the second-largest Catholic cathedral in England, after Westminster Cathedral. However, it has been affected by climate change, with its Victorian gutters overwhelmed by rising rainfall.
Past maintenance issues, poor-quality repairs, and unsuitable building materials have further exacerbated the problem.
Cathedral manager Charley Purves called the funding an "important first step" in preserving the building, allowing the team to "better understand the issues the building is facing" and plan for future work.
