CORPORATE PROPERTIES OF THE DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE

The Board's corporate properties fall into several distinct groups. The first consists of properties which are let commercially.

For example, part of 41 Holywell Hill is let to Claytons where the Diocesan Registrar works.

Second, Holywell Lodge (the Diocesan Office) including the Resources Centre is part of the Board's corporate property.

A third group of properties consists of a small number of houses which are used by various PCCs to accommodate parish curates. No rent is paid but the PCCs pay for all outgoings on these houses other than the buildings insurance, which is paid for by the Board.

The last group of properties consists of houses which are used to accommodate the non-parochial clergy: the suffragan bishops, the archdeacons and most of the sector ministry personnel. The cost of running these houses is charged to the Ministry Account.

All properties in the Board's corporate ownership are subject to the same routine of quinquennial inspections by the Diocesan Surveyor as parsonage houses.
