Worshippers in west London will be able to stay dry after three leaky religious buildings picked up £436,000 of funding to make repairs.

New West End Synagogue in St Petersburgh Place, Bayswater, which is one of only three Grade I listed buildings in England, has been awarded a grant of £108,000. The money will go towards repairing the roof and making the building water-tight.

Rabbi Geoffrey Hisler said: "It's not just important to our Jewish community, but important for the whole of England to have historic buildings like our magnificent synagogue, that we can be proud of."

Other places of worship picking up funding include St Augustine of Canterbury Church, in Queen's Gate, South Kensington, and St Mary Magdalene church, in Rowington Close, Westbourne Green. A new roof will be built at St Augustine church, with a grant of £113,000.

Reverend Stephen Caple said: "We're so pleased to receive this grant as it's the only way we could afford to repair our leaking roof. We're a small congregation with a big heart.

"We endeavour to serve the community as best we can and hundreds of people use our facilities during the whole week, not just on Sundays."

A collapsed drain, which causes rainwater to flood the crypt at St Mary Magdalene church, will be fixed with funding of £215,000.

The church, deemed the most 'at risk' in Westminster, will also benefit from new toilets and a kitchen.

Revered Henry Everett said he was delighted at picking up the money. He said: "Ten years ago, our electrical wiring was condemned, so we use an emergency power source. With these changes, we can make use of the crypt and host even more community projects. We can't wait to get going."

The money comes from English Heritage and Heritage Lottery Fund, which are giving more than £15.5million to support urgent repair work to listed places of worship across England.
