How to get a Faculty
A faculty is normally needed for all repairs, alterations and additions (including disposals and other transactions) to churches and churchyards, their contents, and land belonging to churches. In this context: “church” includes all parish and consecrated churches and some other churches and places of worship, as well as some other Church property; “churchyards” includes all consecrated burial grounds other than those owned by local authorities. If there is any doubt as to whether a faculty is needed, you should consult the Diocesan Registrar before starting the work.
The Archdeacon is requested to issue the Faculty at the request of the Registrar following receipt of the DAC Certificate, Public Notice and
Petition.
