The Church Buildings Council (CBC)

The CBC, a statutory body accountable to the General Synod is supported by a group of expert officers within the Cathedral and Church Buildings division. Its day-to-day work involves:

  • offering advice to Chancellors, dioceses and parishes on faculty applications
  • distributing grants for the conservation of church fabric and fittings
  • organising conferences and seminars and producing guidance on subjects relating to the care and use of church buildings, their contents and churchyards
  • advising dioceses and the Church Commissioners on proposals for closing or closed churches

The current members of the CBC can be seen here.

Much more information is provided on our comprehensive website, www.churchcare.co.uk which is updated regularly.
