The oldest theatre and largest chapel in Wales are among 24 historic buildings to be offered grants totalling almost £1m.

The money is being made available by the Welsh Assembly Government to carry out repairs and restoration.

Monmouth's Savoy Theatre will receive £39,300 towards repairs to the front elevation while Tabernacle Chapel in Morriston will benefit from £100,000.

Over £60,000 will go to Animal Wall in Cardiff, part of the castle complex.

It will pay towards the repair of the wall and the re-pointing and restoration of its metal railings and famous stone animals....
