The petition sought a faculty confirming works undertaken under an archdeacon's temporary licence for the removal of three pews to provide a children's corner in this Grade II listed church. The archdeacon's licence had expired in October. The chancellor noted the failure to apply for a petition within the 15 months allowed under the archdeacon's licence or to restore to the original ordering. He had concerns about the extent of non-compliance with this rule within the diocese and would expect to see compliance. He noted that the new duties of archdeacons to monitor the grant of their permission for temporary re-ordering, introduced in the Faculty Jurisdiction Rules 2013, was to be preserved by rules 8(2) and 8(3) of the Faculty Jurisdiction Rules 2015. One of the objections received expressed concern about the failure to display plans of the proposed changes alongside the petition until determination of the petition as required. Again the chancellor expressed concern that that requirement might not have been widely observed within the diocese and indicated that he would expect to see future compliance. [Catherine Shelley]
