The Chancellor has judicial oversight for the Faculty Jurisdiction process and makes the final determination on faculty applications.

The consistory court is the court of the bishop of each diocese, presided over by the Chancellor, and considers any application for faculty permission. Any matters for the attention of the Chancellor must be directed to the Diocesan Registry.

The Chancellor has various powers and duties under the Faculty Jurisdiction Rules 2015 and deals with all faculty matters except those delegated to the Archdeacon (List B).

All advice given throughout the process from the DAC and other external bodies is provided to the Chancellor who ultimately makes the decision on faculty applications.

The Chancellor for the Diocese of Winchester is Mr Cain Ormondroyd.
