(This note is not part of the Order)
The Churches Conservation Trust (formerly known as the Redundant Churches Fund) has as its object the preservation, in the interests of the nation and the Church of England, of churches and parts of churches of historic and archaeological interest or architectural quality which, together with their contents, are vested in the Trust.
Article 2 of the Order specifies the period beginning with 1st April 2021 and ending with 31st March 2022 for the purposes of section 1 of the Redundant Churches and other Religious Buildings Act 1969. As a result, the Secretary of State may, with the approval of the Treasury, make grants to the Churches Conservation Trust during that period of such amounts, payable at such times and subject to such conditions, if any, as the Secretary of State may from time to time determine. Article 3 of the Order specifies the sum of £2,924,000 as the maximum aggregate amount of the grants that may be paid in that period. The previous Order made under section 1 of the 1969 Act is revoked.

1969 c. 22. The Pastoral Measure 1968 (1968 No.1)established the Redundant Churches Fund and section 13(1) of the Pastoral (Amendment) Measure 1994 (1994 No.1)changed the name of the Redundant Churches Fund to the Churches Conservation Trust. Section 13(2) of the Pastoral (Amendment) Measure 1994 provided that reference to the Redundant Churches Fund in section 1(1) of the Redundant Churches and other Religious Buildings Act 1969 should be construed as a reference to the Churches Conservation Trust. The Pastoral (Amendment) Measure 1994 was repealed by the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 (2011 No.3)and the operation of the Churches Conservation Trust is now governed by section 57 of, and Schedule 5 to, the 2011 Measure (as amended by the Church of England (Miscellaneous Provisions) Measure 2014 (2014 No.1)and the Mission and Pastoral etc. (Amendment) Measure 2018 (2018 No.4)).
