A Church for us is more than a building – it is a sacred space, filled with God's presence.
Everything within that sacred space – the paintings, the statues, the stained glass – exists for a spiritual purpose.
Part of the management of historic churches, and any church, is the continuing care for the fabric and furnishings.
Under the Ecclesiastical Exemption Order 1994 churches and chapels in use for worship are exempted from some of the provisions of planning legislation subject to approved alternative controls and procedures being exercised by Church authorities.
