Confirmatory Faculty of a Repair at St Paul's (June 2020)

Official notice

St Paul’s Church, Sandgate

Background

On 9th February the Church Wardens of St Paul’s discovered that the Chancel window on the south side of the sanctuary was completely loose and moving in the wind, which at that time was very strong. Following discussions with Canterbury Diocesan Registry and the DAC, a temporary faculty was issued to allow the repair of this window to be carried out. A condition of this faculty was that we would apply for a confirmatory faculty and this has now been done. The final stage of this process is to publish an official notice in St Paul’s inviting any objectors to make their objections known. Due to lockdown and the fact that the church is closed, this is not possible at this time and the Commissary General has decided that provided the notice is placed on the Benefice website for 28 days, this will be sufficient notice. This notice therefore is to carry out this process and is dated 12th June 2020.
