The petitioner sought a faculty for the introduction of a memorial over his parents’ grave which matched that over his grandparents’ grave but which fell outside the diocesan churchyard regulations in its colour and finish and in relation to the gilding of lettering. The incumbent and the Parochial Church Council (PCC) opposed the petition on the basis that they were seeking to ensure consistent application of the regulations. The Diocesan Advisory Committee and the archdeacon supported the PCC's position. The chancellor stated that the starting point for considering such a petition is that permission for a memorial that does not accord with the regulations will not be given lightly. A powerful reason must be shown. No such good or powerful reason had been shown. The faculty was refused. [RA]
