I have been curious for a while as to church ruins in the UK. I have seen several movies over the years of WWII and have always thought that the churches got bombed during the war. But since I joined this sight and started enjoying wearing the kilt I have seen numerous pictures showing church ruins. My question is this, Why not put a new roof on them and windows. I think they are beautiful architecture. Why not preserve them? Granted I realize that would take lots of money to do it. Were they Roman Catholic Churches and that is why they are in ruin? It has always made me curious as to why they have been made ruin and why they stay that way.
