Church Buildings Toolkit

The Diocese of Truro has over 300 churches and 86% are either Grade I, II* or II.
We have a responsibility to care for these buildings with the added challenge of ensuring they are accessible and practical for the communities they serve today.
It can seem like a daunting task.
We hope that these notes will help you understand the faculty process and the need for it.

The challenges our buildings face in the 21st Century.

The Church Buildings Survey Toolkit has been designed to help clergy and lay leaders to have a creative discussion about their church building(s) in the light of these two challenges. It encourages the consideration of church buildings together across a cluster, benefice or deanery.
