Covenants

 

Covenants will be included when the property is disposed of.

These are designed primarily to:

  • ensure the property is only used for authorised purposes
  • protect it from any unauthorised alterations or demolition
  • reassure local people and enable public access to tend or visit any graves at agreed times
  • protect against disturbance of any human remains, tombstones, monuments or memorials.

Changing Circumstances

Through the covenants the church authorities retain an interest in what happens to the property. If in the future you wish to vary the authorised use, or carry out further alterations, your proposals will receive sympathetic consideration provided they continue to fit in with the character and setting of the property.

We want to work with you to ensure that the redundant church continues to have a future that benefits you and the community.
