Ecclesiastical Case Reports
Re St James, Braithwell Churchyard
(Sheffield Consistory Court: McClean Ch, December 2002)
Memorial–porcelain portrait
The petition sought a faculty for the erection of a headstone over the grave of the petitioner’s one-year-old daughter. The memorial was of white marble in the shape of an open book with a small porcelain portrait of the deceased. The PCC supported the petition. The DAC objected to the use of white marble and the inclusion of the portrait. The chancellor allowed the petition in respect of the shape and material for the memorial, but refused permission for the portrait. In reaching his decision the chancellor followed the tenor of the judgment in Re Christ Church, Harwood [2002] 1 WLR 2055.
