Chancel Repairs

Christ Church, Moreton Hall does not make claims against any property on the Moreton Hall estate for repairs.

Despite stating this publicly, some solicitors and estate agents, who assist in the buying and selling of houses on the Moreton Hall estate, have been known to ask or insist that people take out insurance against repairing Christ Church.

If you live on the Moreton Hall estate, which covers all properties from the A14 to the flying fortress public house, Christ Church is your only parish church. We do not have any legal right to claim repair bills from the residents of the estate.

Other parts of Suffolk do have churches which have this right. If you wish to know who they are, a list can be obtained from Mr James Hall, 20 – 32 Museum Street, Ipswich IP1 2UH.
