THE OWNER of any property, however small, in England and Wales can be liable
to pay for repairs to the chancel of a nearby parish church, as a case taken to
the House of Lords recently confirmed. Chancel Repair Liability: How to
research it, by James Derriman, gives practical advice in a small book
that is, say the publishers, the first of its kind.
It is not a legal textbook, but a guide to the task of researching what
liability any piece of land bears; and, says Dr R. Sturt, diocesan registrar
for Canterbury, in his foreword, it will be useful for PCCs and amateur
historians, as well (Barrie Rose Law Publishers, Little London, Chichester,
