The Index to Certificates of Consent to Alterations
THE INDEX TO CERTIFICATES OF CONSENT TO ALTERATIONS Prior to the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland by the Irish Church Act of 1869, the fabric of the church, its ornaments, furniture and fittings were under the jurisdiction of the bishop and could only be altered by obtaining a faculty from the bishop’s court. Most of the records of the ecclesiastical courts were destroyed in the fire in the Public Record Office in 1922 and so there is little surviving documentation about pre-disestablishment church alterations. However, for the post-disestablishment period the Representative Church Body’s records of the consents to alterations, which replaced the pre- disestablishment faculty system, provide a substantial and sustained record of church alterations. These records are available to researchers in the Representative Church Body Library.
