A faculty was sought for repairs to pew platforms and pews, and also the moving of the font from the south aisle to a more central position at the back of the Church, 'so that the administration of the sacrament of baptism can be better seen by the congregation and that there may be an improved liturgical focus on a baptism conducted during the main Sunday morning worship.' There were two objections to the moving of the font. Faculty granted.

An application had been made to set aside a partially executed faculty for exhumation and reinterment of cremated remains. The application was made after the exhumation of the cremated remains, but before their intended reinterment in a family grave in a parish in Northern Ireland where the deceased had been born. The original petitioner and the present applicant were brother and sister. The Chancellor found that the petitioner had been “highly economical with the truth” about sibling relatives when applying for the faculty. When two of his siblings discovered that the remains had been exhumed, his sister in Northern Ireland (who did not have a good relationship with the petitioner) advised the Registry that she and one of her brothers had not been advised of the faculty application and would have objected to it. She therefore applied to set aside the faculty. For the reasons stated in the judgment, the Chancellor decided to dismiss the application to set aside the faculty, in order that the deceased’s remains could be interred next to his father’s remains in Northern Ireland.

Petition for repairs to external stonework (ironstone) of a twelfth century church. Objections as to the extent of the proposed replacement of stone with stone from the same quarry as the original. Faculty granted.

Confirmatory Faculty to carry out significant modifications in the execution of works previously permitted under faculty. The variations are: 1. to re-site the font further north, 2. to re-grade the pathway to the new platform in front of the west doors, 3. to modify the roof on the new inner west lobby, 4. to paint the salvaged pew ends incorporated into the new WC and kitchen screens, 5. to replace the proposed carpet tiles with a pattern of Amtico tiles in three colours, and 6. to introduce various new lighting fittings.

The installation of a digital organ and a moveable font in the church of St. Nicholas Radford Semele, a reconstructed church severely damaged by fire in 2008

Faculty granted for Air Source Heat Pumps, to replace an old electric boiler heating system.

The petitioners wished to remove four rows of pews from the west end of the nave, in order to allow greater community use of the church. The church had a mixture of medieval and Victorian pews. The Chancellor granted a faculty to allow the removal of the pews as requested, with the exception of one medieval pew and frontal.

The unlisted church had been built in 1966. A font constructed from brick, and clad in marble, had been removed from the church and broken up without the authority of a faculty. The stainless steel bowl, which had been part of the font, had been incorporated into a wooden, moveable font. The Chancellor granted a confirmatory faculty for the disposal of the old font and the incorporation of the stainless steel bowl in the new font. The judgment contains a discussion of the law relating to the disposal of redundant fonts.

Faculty granted for extensive re-ordering including, the provision of toilet facilities, the removal of the choir stalls on both the north and south sides of the church, repositioning of the font, and the use of chairs in the new baptistry area, the removal of three rows of pews at the rear of the church, the installation of a balcony with stair access at the west end of the church, the provision of a separate meeting area under the balcony and a refreshment bar, a wooden and glass screen to divide the worship area from the meeting area, the replacement of the wooden main entrance door with glass doors.

Faculty granted for re-ordering, including new central heating system and replacement of pews with chairs.
