St Leonard, Shoreditch
Most works to your church building, including changes such as the installation of disabled access, an extension, relighting or reordering the interior, will require a Faculty. This is permission granted by the Chancellor of the Diocese as Judge of the Consistory Court.
A Faculty is also needed when taking out or bringing in new furniture. It is important to obtain a Faculty before selling or disposing of anything which belongs to the church.
Some minor works do not require a faculty. These works are outlined in the Minor Works list.
Please seek the advice of the Care of Churches Team and your Archdeacon at any early stage when considering doing any works.
