IHBC South Branch, in association with the Diocese of Winchester, is offering another premium CPD experience on Friday 19 January, at All Saints Church, The Bury, Odiham, Hampshire, exploring alterations and changes to protected churches – ‘NEW ORDER – DIVINE INTERVENTION’ – and a MUST for conservation practitioners, Local Authority Conservation staff, DAC Members and Church representatives, with booking closing 12 January and reduced rates for IHBC members of £30.
IHBC South Branch writes:
Churches are increasingly coming under pressure to better serve their communities by providing additional facilities including basics such as heating, kitchens and WCs plus opportunities for meeting rooms and general reordering. All these changes need to pass through the Faculty System before implementation. This conference seeks to guide delegates through the process of understanding and acknowledging significance of church buildings, and summarises the law and Faculty system which must be followed. Case studies illustrate the issues and there will be opportunity to ask questions.
The day promises to be a MUST for conservation practitioners, Local Authority Conservation staff, DAC Members and Church representatives.
