Church buildings and churchyards

An enquiry or request for urgent works to a church or churchyard, such as after metal theft or vandalism, should be made direct to the Diocesan Registry.

Where applicable, the Diocesan Registry Assistant will issue an interim faculty application form to the applicant, which will capture the information required by the Diocesan Chancellor. The applicant will then be advised to create an 'outline' faculty application on the Online Faculty System (OFS), to which they should upload the completed interim faculty form and supporting documents, and contact the Registry Assistant to indicate that this been done.

For further information or advice, please contact:

Please note: There is a separate approved procedure for emergency works to churches and churchyards in the Diocese of Lichfield.
