As city centres were bulldozed for redevelopment, fine Victorian churches were left isolated and vandalised, and dozens of remote country churches were declared redundant. Many were demolished, but 'Change & Decay', the V&A's 1977 campaigning exhibition, triggered the first grants for historic churches. SAVE's travelling version of the exhibition toured Britain for three years, followed in 1979 by 'The Fall of Zion', a powerful plea for northern chapels and meeting houses.
