The UK's £1.57bn cultural bailout fund has announced nearly 450 heritage rescue grants, hailed as a "lifeline" for heritage sites and specialists affected by the pandemic. The funding round is expected to support conservation efforts at historic buildings such as churches and cathedrals. In Germany, researchers have identified nine historic churches in Naples that are at risk from sinkholes, while in Bavaria, ancient frescoes in Augsburg cathedral have been dated back over 1,000 years.
