175 historic sites in danger of being lost forever. They have been added to Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register of sites threatened with decay, development or destruction. King Arthur’s Great Halls in Tintagel, Cornwall, was designed in the 1930s as a meeting place for Arthurian devotees.

Its 73 windows are considered fine examples of stained glass workmanship. Another threatened site is the 19th century Birmingham and Midland Institute once run by Charles Dickens.
