Covering letter for a more detailed memo and photocopies of Halsbury Laws 4th Edition 1080 of Vol 14.

Thanking Adrian Head for the time and trouble spent in puzzling out the options for All Saints. Its a shame that legal obstacles thwart the gift of the church to the catholic community.

Bishop Nott spoke of the eventual successor to the present incumbent of the Anglican Church (the biggest in East Anglia!). Bishop Clark asks Fr Reid to give his opinion on the kind of person he'd like to see in charge. This is vague but shows goodwill ad a desire to be open and ecumenical.

Not sure about Fr Beauchamp's response but matter was settle locally [see letter from Adjutant]. Bishop's comments on "stunt", "Lacking elementary common sense", etc. were hurtful. Has the bishop a "'lack of confidence' in me"?

Having received a tender for a £400,000 project Fr Wilson is asking the Bank for an opinion on the financial stability of Rogers (Hunstanton) Ltd.

A review of the legal situation for an incumbent granting a lease and options thereby. Suggestion is to go for a "Sharing Agreement" in which the Catholic community have the church for all but one day of a year - the CofE community have it for one day in which to hold a joint service; a degree of tact required from both sides.

Not spoken about stone before. Normally not keen on using reconstituted stone for the Church. Their experience is that it weathers poorly. Rather avoid it.
