Additional Matter not requiring a Faculty

The Chancellor for the Diocese of Leicester has issued an Additional Matter Order that adds the following to List B, which requires the Archdeacon's consent via the Online Faculty System (OFS):


Deanery Boundaries redrawn to promote mission and local identity

In a move designed to encourage the mission work of local churches, the current Framland and Gartree I and II Deaneries are being reshaped and renamed. Two benefices in the south of Framland, including Launde Abbey, will join with the deeply rural parishes of Gartree I to form the Launde Deanery, while Market Harborough will join up with Oadby to form a deanery based around the A6 corridor, called the Gartree Deanery.


Important Safeguarding Update

Please note that information on parish safeguarding arrangements – and specifically who to contact if someone has any safeguarding concerns – should appear on the front page of all parish websites. If this isn't currently the case, then we ask that websites are updated as soon as reasonably possible.


Metal Theft Guidance

The Diocese is reminding churches of the support and help on offer from our Church Buildings Team to help try to prevent theft and also for help in the event of such a crime, if it happens.


How to take great photographs of your church
