The bigger picture
The Peterborough Diocese is one of 44 dioceses in the Church of England.
The average monthly Church of England attendance is 1.7m, 424,000 of whom were children and young people under 16 years (2007 figures).
For every 50 attending church or cathedrals on a typical Sunday, an additional 9 attend during the week and an extra 36 over a month.
85% of the population go into a place of worship (not only Christian or Anglican) each year; 60% believe that a place of worship makes their neighbourhood a better place to live.
The Church of England provides activities outside church worship in the local community for 515,000 children and young people (under 16) and 38,000 young people aged 16-25.
The Church of England maintains almost half the Grade I listed buildings in the UK, spending £120m on repairs each year; the state provides £26m of this through English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
