Closed Church Procedure

A closed Church of England Church is sold under special legal provisions - a Pastoral (Church Building Disposal) Scheme is the legal document empowering the Church Commissioners to sell a closed Church for a specific use. The sale of the Church would, therefore, be subject to the making of such a scheme following public consultations.
