Our buildings do not just belong to us; they also belong to the past, to the future, and to the wider community.

Some of our buildings are particularly important architecturally or historically and this is reflected in their Listing. When changes are proposed to buildings like these, the Faculty System includes a consultation with national Amenity Bodies where appropriate.

But it is sensible, as with the DAC and your Archdeacon, to consult them early. They can be a source of great help and good advice.
