In Re St James’ Church, Shirley: ConC 24 Dec 1993

(Winchester Consistory Court) A faculty was sought to allow the repositioning of the font.
Held: The existing textbooks on the position of the font were outdated. The House of Bishops had stated that the positioning of a font at the centre of the Chrurch should not now be a source of difficulty. The Church’s own congregation was the proper way of determining where the font should be situated. The faculty was granted.
