Previously the Online Faculty System
Log changes and manage approval of changes to church buildings, churchyards and their contents within the Church of England.
With an account, you can:
Manage Online Applications for Faculty Permission:
- The system supports the legal process known as the faculty jurisdiction, which governs alterations, repairs, and conservation works to Church of England churches and churchyards.
- Parishes can submit applications for permission to carry out works on their churches or churchyards. These permissions cover a wide range of activities, from major structural changes to minor works, such as repairs or the introduction of items like plaques.
Manage your Minor Works List:
- The system includes a list of items and activities that may be carried out without a full faculty under the List A and List B provisions of the Faculty Jurisdiction Rules.
- List A covers works that do not require permission, while List B covers works that require consultation with the Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) and approval from the Archdeacon, but do not require a full faculty.
