Where a church was listed as having special architectural or historical interest, there was a presumption against granting a faculty for any change which would adversely affect its character. Here, however, a faculty should be granted for a new Millennium window, since this was not a change adverse to its character, it did not seek to replace a window of a specifically Christian nature, the majority of parishioners appeared to be in favour of the change, and the presumption against change to a listed building had also been rebutted.
