PCC and Terrier, Inventory & Log Book

In respect of each parish church and each building licensed for public worship, church wardens must:

• Compile and maintain a full terrier (a schedule) of all lands and an inventory of all articles belonging to the church.
• Maintain a log book containing a full note of all alterations, additions and repairs to the church and the land and other articles belonging to it, other events affecting any of them and the location of any relevant documents which are not kept with the log book itself.

The Cathedral Bookshop sells a form of log book although you can make your own.
A copy of the terrier, inventory and log book must be sent to the Diocesan Secretary and any alterations to it.  These documents must be presented to the PCC at the beginning of every calendar year with a signed statement that the contents are accurate.

The inventory must be checked with the incoming churchwardens every year and signed by them.
