A church in England was targeted by repeated acts of vandalism
Repeated acts of vandalism at the 700-year-old St Peter's Church in Chester have led to the destruction of its historic stained glass windows, requiring substantial repair work. In response, St Peter's Church has applied to Cheshire West and Chester Council for permission to install stainless steel protective guards over six of its windows.
Church vandalism has become increasingly common across the UK, affecting both rural and urban places of worship.
The rise in these incidents often includes damage to valuable architectural features, such as stained glass, statues, and memorials, leaving communities with costly repair bills.
This trend reflects a broader social challenge, as many churches face a lack of resources for protection and are often located in areas with rising crime rates.
