In considering a petition for the installation of a series of six stained glass windows in memory of a person who had been married in the church, the Commissary General observed that where a such a proposal involved an addition to or adornment of the church it was not necessary for the petitioner to establish ‘exceptionality’ in respect of the character or service of the person to be commemorated: Re St Mary, Longstock [2006] 1 WLR 259. As the church was a listed building the proposal was to be assessed in accordance with the framework of questions articulated by the Court of Arches in Re St Alkmund, Duffield [2013] 2 WLR 854. The answer to the first of those questions – would the proposals if implemented result in harm to the significance of the church as a building of special architectural or historic interest? – was no. There were good reasons in favour of the proposal and a faculty would be granted. [Alexander McGregor]
