The Church Buildings team have produced a number of guidance notes on a whole variety of subjects that may help you with your enquiry or application. If you are unable to find information on a particular topic do get in touch with the DAC Office for further advice. The documents are all in pdf format which require the free Acrobat Reader.
The Churchcare website also has a number of very useful and informative guidance notes for PCCs which are worth consulting.
