The Church Commissioners is a body managing the historic property assets of the Church of England. It was set up in 1948 combining the assets of Queen Anne's Bounty, a fund dating from 1704 for the relief of poor clergy, and of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners formed in 1836. The Church Commissioners are a registered charity regulated by the Charity Commission for England and Wales, and are liable for the payment of pensions to retired clergy whose pensions were accrued before 1998 (subsequent pensions are the responsibility of the Church of England Pensions Board.

The Secretary (and chief executive) of the Church Commissioners is Andrew Brown.

History

The Church Building Act 1818 granted money and established the Church Building Commission to build churches in the cities of the Industrial Revolution. These churches became known variously as Commissioners' churches, Waterloo churches or Million Act churches. The Church Building Commission became the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in 1836.

An earlier Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Commission had been set up under the first brief administration of Sir Robert Peel in 1835 with a wide remit, "to consider the State of the Established Church in England and Wales, with reference to Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues" (Minutes of the Commission, 9/2/1835); this body redistributed wealth between the dioceses and changed diocesan boundaries, and the permanent Ecclesiastical Commission was formed the following year.

The Church Commissioners were established in 1948 following the passage, by National Assembly of the Church of England, of the Church Commissioners Measure 1947.[1]

The value of the commissioners' assets was around £5.5 billion as at the end of 2012.[1] By September 2016, it was valued at £7 billion.[2] The income is used for the payment of pensions to retired clergy whose pensions were accrued before 1998 (subsequent pensions are the responsibility of the Church of England Pensions Board.[3]

The commissioners also oversee pastoral reorganisation, the consent of the commissioners being required for establishing or dissolving team and group ministries, uniting, creating, or dissolving benefices and parishes, and the closing of consecrated church buildings and graveyards.

The Church Commissioners are now based at Church House, Westminster, London, having long occupied No. 1 Millbank.[4] However, the Millbank building was sold in 2005 to the House of Lords for accommodation of members and staff; the commissioners completed the move to Church House in 2007.[5] They used to be an exempt charity under English law, and is now a registered charity regulated by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.[6][7]

The Secretary (and chief executive) of the Church Commissioners is Andrew Brown.[8]

Responsibilities

The Church Commissioners have the following responsibilities:[9]

  • Funding mission in churches, dioceses and cathedrals.[10]
  • Pastoral reorganisation (including mergers of parishes and benefices); supported by the Pastoral Team.[11]
  • Clergy payroll ensuring clergy are paid their stipend.
  • Managing the production of Crockford's Clerical Directory.
  • Managing the Lambeth Palace Library and the Church of England Record Centre.
