The management of the Banham Trust is quite constrained and has worked until now - sets out major aspects of the trust. The Bishop recommends that it stays as it is. However he'd be interested to hear anything Mr Coney or the Abbot can come up with.
Wishes him well in his new activity in Liverpool.
Passes on the comments from Witham Weld. The Trustees need to decide what they want to do. Before they approach an architect, he has costs associated with a 100 seat church with parish/social room.

Advising the Abbot that the Bishop is unable to attend to Diocesan affairs for the next few weeks, hence this letter as reply.
Bishop has been quite clear, i accordance with other Bishops, on the approach to be taken. Firm approval from him for the scheme at Beccles. Covers a range of funding/income issues associated with Beccles parish. Note that Gorleston Catholic Modern Secondary school will have Beccles as a feeder school.
typescript annotation: "Fr Abbot's letter gave the agreed valuation as follows:- Playing field £1260, House and Garden £4,100. All this will be sold to the Authority for £5360. The playground will be retained in the ownership of the Authority. The remainder will be conveyed back to Downside Abbey Beccles School trust. 'It looks as though out of this Beccles will be "clear" about £3000'".
Provides advice on how to complete Form 18 with particular figures for specific questions.
Suggests that whatever happens £96.10.1p should be saved annually to prepare for the "evil day". The resources are not being dedicated for educational purposes and the monies are held in a general charitable trust of the diocese. Order for Aided Status should be available in a month, this is to be sent to the diocese with the deeds. Fr Brewer will deal directly with the Ministry.
Disagrees with the Bishop. Considers the trust funds could be better managed and not allowed to deteriorate in returns - draws a comparison with Downside's better fund management. Quotes Canon Hunting that too much effort is required to maintain too little income.

JS Hall - no objection in principal a dig in the church (need to discuss with Mr Hatcher); reluctant to have pews removed on a permanent basis. Dr Heley to write a short article on Meryemana for the Trust's newsletter? Mr Mellamphy should return keys (even those he may have had copied) to the Trust until the lease is completed.
Ipswich Historic Churches TrustJS Hall suggesting that a little publicity with the Trust might be helpful. Invites Dr Heley to make a presentation to the Trust's AGM
Ipswich Historic Churches TrustJames Hall of IHCT, lease proposals were in writing and these form the basis of discussion. Await Foundation's decision.
