Drainage works were undertaken at this Grade I listed church without faculty. Upon an application for a confirmatory faculty, the chancellor expressed particular concern that the works had been undertaken without any reference to the parish architect, the Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) or any other independent advice. The works were undertaken with heavy machinery in a context where there were significant structural issues with the chancel of the church, which some believed to be related to or affected by drainage. The parochial church council had discussed and dismissed the need to apply for a faculty. In granting the confirmatory faculty, the chancellor imposed certain conditions as to the making good of the area where the works had taken place and required the parish to facilitate and bear the cost of a visit by a DAC architect member to ensure the satisfactory completion of the works.
