‘In 2016 we posted Flood damage and the faculty jurisdiction in which the Salisbury consistory court considered options for post-flood remediation, Re St. Mary Charminster [2016] ECC Sal 1. The recent determination Re St. Mary the Virgin Beachamwell [2026] ECC Ely 1 concerned a faculty petition for another “post-disaster” restoration of a church following a devastating fire in February 2022. In both cases, the parish was faced with a tabula rasa from which restoration works could be planned, albeit within constraints from the insurers, and as such these differ from most considerations of reordering.’
