The Registry has produced a guidance note on the installation of equipment into churches of the Diocese of Lincoln, designed for receiving and transmitting electronic communications, eg base stations for mobile phone networks.

You may already be aware from the media or via social media over the weekend of 10/11 August 2019 that the way in which marriages are registered is set to change following the passing into law of the Civil Partnerships, Marriages and Deaths (Registration etc) Act 2019 which, as well as providing for opposite-sex couples to be able to enter into civil partnerships, will allow for mother’s names to be included in Marriage Registers as well as/in place of father’s names. It also makes provision for significant changes in the way that marriages are registered. Full details from the link below

From 1st January 2016 there are two lists of ‘matters not requiring a Faculty’: ‘List A and ‘List B’. ‘List A’ matters are works which the PCC can carry out on their church without a Faculty. ‘List B’ matters are works which first require the written permission of the Archdeacon.
