A new At Risk Register for 2025 has been released today, containing dozens of entries across Lancashire - from churches, to mills, statues and stately homes.
One new entry this year is the Grade I listed Priory and Parish Church of St Mary in Lancaster, which has been added due to subsidence affecting the alignment of its south aisle.
To find out more about the current state of some of Lancashire’s landmarks, see the pages below.
