Annual Data on Registered Places of Worship in England and Wales

Siobhan McAndrew made this Freedom of Information request to Identity and Passport Service

The request was successful.

From: Siobhan McAndrew

9 July 2010

Dear Identity & Passport Service,

I would like to examine growth or decline in the numbers of
churches, synagogues, mosques, gurdwaras and other places of
worship since 2004.

I see that in April 2010 you supplied a table of registered places
of worship following an FOI request, with the following fields:
district authority name, district authority number,number in
worship register, name, address 1, address 2, address 3, and
religious denomination.

I would like similar copies for 2004-2009 if available (I
understand that the file sizes are large).

Yours faithfully,

Siobhan McAndrew

Siobhan McAndrew left an annotation ( 7 September 2010)

I'm very satisfied with this outcome. I will be adding the data to http://www.brin.ac.uk/figures, a website which publishes data on religion in Britain, and I consider that the aggregated data will be of more use to users than microdata. I am grateful to National Statistics for giving permission for their publication ahead of their own schedule, and to David Buckley and Selwyn Hughes at the GRO for giving my request time and attention.
