The Church of England Record Centre (CERC)

The main function of CERC is to support the central administration of the Church of England by providing a records management and deeds registry service to the National Church Institutions, including the Archbishops' Council, the Church Commissioners, the General Synod and the National Society.

CERC holds the archives of the central institutions of the Church of England and their predecessor organisations. Click here to see a description of the holdings. Please direct any enquiries regarding holdings to CERC. Contact details are at the bottom of this page.

The records, including files and deeds, can be made available for public viewing at Lambeth Palace Library between 10am and 5pm Monday to Friday. Anyone wishing to consult the records will be required to give 5 days notice of their visit to the Library and will need to obtain a readers' ticket and abide by Library rules. The records will be delivered to the Library and will be retained there for 20 working days. No appointment will be needed once the documents have been requested from CERC.
