Church Buildings Hub
Caring for church buildings is about more than maintenance – it’s an important element of ensuring our churches remain open, welcoming, and sustainable for generations to come.
The Church Buildings team and the DAC (Diocesan Advisory Committee) work in partnership with parishes across the Diocese. PCCs are legally responsible for the upkeep of their church buildings, but we can provide support by offering guidance and advice with applications for repair works and changes.
Many works will require permission through the Online Faculty System (OFS), an online platform where you can submit applications, consult the DAC, and track your progress. You can find more information on how to use the OFS in our Permissions and How to Apply section.
The team are always willing to offer support on any queries or concerns you may have, and we would encourage you to get in touch by filling out the contact form below or emailing us at dac@winchester.anglican.org.
