An offer has been made for St Paul's Church. Beth Cherryman explores how a lack of funding and spiralling repair and maintenance costs may force a sale.

An offer has been made to buy a 122 year-old Cardiff church, with plans to convert the building into offices and a training room.

St Paul’s in Grangetown, acknowledged as one of the finest Victorian churches in Cardiff, has substantial damp damage, a leaking roof and needs to be rewired and glazed. The 70-strong congregation cannot afford the £1.4m worth of repairs and decided the church should be put on the market three years ago for the asking price of £300,000.
