Thle to the land, and therefore the bulldlng on it rests solely wlth Sallsbury. However the proceeds of any Sale would become part of the PCC'5 general funds and ihey are therefore shown as assets of the PCC vested In the Diocesan Board of Finance of the Sa115bury Diocese. For the same reasons. in 2006 All Saints Church, a freehold property, was brought into the accounts at cost, of £91,704 as an asset vested In the Dlocesan Board of Finance of the Salisbury Diocese. Herltage assets were entered into the accounts in 2005 at market valuation. These assets were revalued In September 2019 by an independent valuer. There were no movements in the previous four years. The PCC decided in 2004 that. with an expected life of the Parish Centre well in exw of 50 years. an annual depreclatlon of £1,200 would be more appropriate at this time: It also decided that the rate of depreciation Should be reviewed at 5 yearly intervab at the same tlme as the quinquennial inspection.

Thle to the land, and therefore the bulldlng on it rests solely wlth Sallsbury. However the proceeds of any Sale would become part of the PCC'5 general funds and ihey are therefore shown as assets of the PCC vested In the Diocesan Board of Finance of the Sa115bury Diocese. For the same reasons. in 2006 All Saints Church, a freehold property, was brought into the accounts at cost, of £91,704 as an asset vested In the Dlocesan Board of Finance of the Salisbury Diocese. Herltage assets were entered into the accounts in 2005 at market valuation. These assets were revalued In September 2019 by an independent valuer. There were no movements in the previous four years. The PCC decided in 2004 that. with an expected life of the Parish Centre well in exw of 50 years. an annual depreclatlon of £1,200 would be more appropriate at this time: It also decided that the rate of depreciation Should be reviewed at 5 yearly intervab at the same tlme as the quinquennial inspection. The latest review was In February 2025 and the existin8 policy re-approved at the PCC meetln8 that month. P•¥e 10 of 14
