  • Description: By an interim faculty issued on 15 June 2020 ([2020] Ecc Chi 4, (2021) 23 Ecc LJ 122), the chancellor had sanctioned the temporary removal of two headstones from the churchyard of St Margaret, Rottingdean, to protect them from possible damage or destruction; the inscriptions included a highly derogatory racist expression (reproduced in full at paragraph 7 of the substantive judgment) which was likely to cause offence. The petitioners had sought a faculty confirming the temporary removal of the headstones in accordance with the interim faculty (and their subsequent boarding up), authorising the recutting of the inscription on each headstone to replace the offending term with the expression ‘music hall artiste’, authorising the addition on one of the headstones of a further inscription giving details of another family member whose cremated remains were interred in the grave, and permitting the reintroduction of the headstones into the churchyard in the positions they previously occupied. The chancellor held that a faculty should be issued, subject to conditions which included: that, prior to any works being undertaken, a high-resolution photographic record of the two headstones be created and duly archived; that the treatment of the headstones also be documented and duly archived; that the foregoing records, together with all of the research carried out to date, be retained by the parish and the local record office and be made available for anyone interested in researching the lives of Elliott and Banford and their importance in music-hall history; and that an interpretative folder or other display, approved by the chancellor, be displayed permanently in the church.
