The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Hexham Abbey 2. Report to the PCC Members for the Year Ended 31 December 2020
The Parochial Church Council (the PCC) submits its annual report and the audited financial statements of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Hexham Abbey (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2020. The PCC contirms that the annual report and financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The financial statements of Hexham Abbey Trading Ltd, as a subsidiary undertaking, are consolidated into the PCC’s accounts in accordance with the provisions of the SORP. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Constitution The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended. Having annual gross income of over £100,000, the PCC is, as required, registered with the Charity Commission. The principal object of the charity is the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England and through service to the wider community. Method of appointment or election of members The appointment of PCC members is governed and set out in the Church Representation Rules. The PCC comprises 17 members (1 clergy, 5 Churchwardens, 3 Deanery Synod Representatives, 8 elected members). Policies adopted for the induction and training of members New PCC members are given a copy of the PCC’s policies, told about diocesan training events, and are supported in their understanding of the work of the PCC by the Rector and Lay Chair. OrganisationalEvery new PCC structuremember undergoes and decisiona DBS makingcheck. The PCC has an agreed governance policy detailing where decisions can be made by subcommittees, Standing Committee, PCC or the Rector. The day to day management of the Abbey is delegated to the Standing Committee.
Sub-committees work under the vision and mission of the Abbey and the overall direction of the Rector, Churchwardens and PCC. They undertake areas of work on the PCC’s behalf and report back to the PCC to whom they are responsible. The chair and members of each sub-committee are appointed by the PCC. The sub-committees can co-opt additional members for specific tasks during the course of the year. Each sub-committee has at least one member of the PCC. In 2020, in addition to the Standing Committee, the PCC had the following 4 sub-committees: Property Committee, Safeguarding Committee, Social Committee, and Fundraising Committee. In addition, the PCC had the following working groups: Music in the Abbey, Christmas Fair Group and Conservation Advisory Group. The PCC is the sole shareholder of Hexham Abbey Trading Ltd (HATL), a company which is responsible for the operation of the refectory cafe and the letting of rooms in the Priory Buildings, as well as the Abbey Shop, which it manages in its existing premises alongside the Abbey. It operates on a commercial basis and makes qualifying charitable donations to the PCC equivalent to its entire taxable profit, thus reducing its corporation tax liabillity to nil.

2. Report to the PCC Members for the Year Ended 31 December 2020 (contd)
Risk management An analysis of existing controls to minimise the major risks to which the PCC is exposed has been undertaken and controls are reviewed on a regular basis.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Policies and objectives The PCC works with the incumbent, the Rev'd David Glover in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
It is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at Hexham Abbey and to become part of the church community. During the Covd-19 pandemic it was committed to ensuring the provision of on-line worship when in person worship was not possible. The PCC has contact, through its database, with many more individuals who see themselves as connected with the life of the Abbey and it keeps in regular contact with them. The PCC maintains an overview of worship at the Abbey and makes suggestions about how services and outreach serve the needs of people who live in the parish and the wider area.
When planning its activities for the year, the PCC has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, it tries to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of the Abbey’s parish community through its Vision: of a world where God's love is enjoyed, celebrated and shared. And its Mission Action Plan which states that, inspired by Andrew, Wilfrid and Etheldreda, we seek to grow in breadth and numbers, in faith and learning, in prayer and generosity. ToBuildingsfacilitate(Carnabythis work,Building the PCCand maintainsformer Magistrates’ the fabric ofCourt the Abbey,Building) theandParishadjoiningCentreland. and theIt alsoPrioryemploys a number of staff and enjoys the service of over one hundred and fifty volunteers. Going concern After making appropriate enquiries, the PCC forecasts and projections for the next twelve months show that the charity expects to continue in operational existence for that period, taking into account reasonable possible changes in performance and the potential impact on the charity of possible future scenarios arising from the impact of COVID-19. This also considers the effectiveness of available measures to assist in mitigating the impact, which have included raising funds through a Bounce Back Appeal, a temporary reduction in staff working hours, appropriate use of HM Government's Covid-19 furlough scheme and a reduction in the amount of ‘Parish Share’ to be contributed to the Diocese in 2021. The charity has a positive cash position and is forecasting for this to continue to be the case. The Trustees remain confident that the uncertainties caused by COVID-19 do not cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the factors set out above the trustees believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
Grant making policies Helping those in need is a demonstration of the Christian faith. The PCC has a policy for choosing the charities it supports, to which it gives 5% of the income it receives from planned giving.

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Hexham Abbey 2. Report to the PCC Members for the Year Ended 31 December 2020 (contd) SafeguardingOn behalf of the PCC, the Safeguarding Committee keeps constantly abreast of developments
On behalf of the PCC, the Safeguarding Committee keeps constantly abreast of developments in Church of England and Diocesan safeguarding policies and practices and implements them accordingly. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Statistics 2020 (2019) - 247 (247) people on the Church Electoral Roll - 0 (278) communicants on Easter Eve and Easter Day - 0 (425) total attending services on Easter Eve and Easter Day - 746 (1,265) at special Advent services for congregation and local community - 0 (600) at special Advent services for schools or civic organisations - 183 (370) communicants on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day - 381 (1,500 ) total attending services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day - 4 (15) baptisms conducted - 1 (10) couples married in church - 32 (53) funerals were conducted, of which 16 (28) were held in the Abbey - 0 (0) adults and 0 (0) young persons were confirmed All numbers (except the Electoral Roll) have been hugely affected by Covid-19, which caused very significant disruption to Church life from March 2020 onwards. In October the average weekly attendance in church for all services was 200 adults and 14 children. In addition to this approximately 40 people joined in October Zoom services. During lockdown when the Abbey closed for worship approximately 130 people joined in Zoom worship each Sunday and about 50 people participating each Wednesday.
Review of activities
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the Abbey's activities were severley curtailed in 2020. Hexham Abbey’s mission is promoted through the work of the PCC and its sub-committees, the ongoing life of the Church, and with the support of the Abbey’s staff team. There are also many people who volunteer to undertake many different and varied tasks to support the life, mission and ministry of the Abbey, for which the PCC is very grateful.
Music
Under the leadership of Michael Haynes, Director of Music, assisted by Keith Dale, music has continued to flourish in the Abbey despite Covid-19 restrictions. Live Choral music was not permitted from March to the end of August and in November but the choirs were able to rehearse on-line and produced online recordings for the benefit of Zoom services. When choral singing was permitted the choirs adjusted to singing in smaller groups and supported Abbey worship wonderfully. This included supporting two new style Sunday evening services and a big programme of Covid secure Christmas Carol services. The PCC has seen the supporting of music during the pandemic as a top prioroity.
Almost all other muisc events in the Abbey were not possible in 2020 becasue of the Covid-19 pandemic.

2. Report to the PCC Members for the Year Ended 31 December 2020 (contd)
Young People
Due to Covid-19 almost all of our children and young people's work had to be suspended. With no prospect of school visits being possible for the foreseeable future the Abbey's Educational Officer, Zoe Robinson, was, regrettably, made redundant in August. Messy Church and Tots Praise met at the beginning of the year and Tots Praise was able to resume briefly in the Autumn but in a very limited way due to Covid restrictions. Due to the Covid restrictions no school visits to the Abbey were possible after February 2020 and Clergy were not able to visit in schools. No children's Christmas activities were able to take place in the Abbey although the Abbey did support Churches Together in Hexham's Nativity Trail. The Abbey also supported, both financially and practically, the Hexham Holiday club. Pastoral Work The usual pastoral support of clergy, lay ministers and Pastoral Visitors was hugely affected by Covid-19 with visits not being possible to nursing homes or, for the most part, private homes. The Pastoral Visiting Group continued to support people by phone and met as a team a number of times during the year. An enhanced Pew Sheet, telephone support, and then a considerable pattern of online Zoom worship, a weekly “coffee moming", and other online activities enabled people to feel supported and connected. Local Community Outreach We continue to nurture supportive relationships with West Northumberland Food Bank, Northumberland Domestic Abuse Service, the Community Partnership, Hexham Youth Initiative and Hexham East Stakeholder Group.
The usual shared activities such as the Christmas Lights’ Switch on and the Christmas Markets were not possible in 2020 due to Covid. However the Abbey reached out to the community through Zoom worship, its enhanced pew sheet and ensuring that the Abbey was as available as possible to the community when regulations allowed. The Abbey held restricted but effective Christmas Fairs and organised enough Covid safe Carol services to meet wide community need. The Abbey continues to allocate 5% of its Planned Giving to charities. In addition to supporting the Hexham Holiday Club, the bulk of the remainder went to the following charities: 20% The Calvert Trust at Kielder; 20% NDAS; 20% WERS; 20% West Northumberland Foodbank 20% Hexham Priory School. Major Grants We were successful in applying for a grant from the Cultural Recovery Major Works Fund for £357,000 to renewa large part of the Abbey Roof and the work on site began in the Autumn 2020 and will be completed in Spring 2021. The PCC is hugely grateful to the Hexham Abbey Restoration TrustThe PCC which continuesis funding to bethe gratefulremainder to theof the_Mercersproject. Company both for financially supporting a Fundraising Manager, to shape a fundraising strategy and to raise money for major works identified by the Quinquennial Report, and for its regular grant which covers most of the cost of insuring the Abbey each year.
Other Staff News
We welcomed the Rev'd David Glover as our new Rector in May 2020, during the Abbey's first Institution Service via Zoom. David joined the service from the Abbey but everyone else was on line. Austion Winstanley retired as Verger in the summer and Zoe Robinson was made redundant but successfully found another position very quickly.

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Hexham Abbey 2. Report to the PCC Members for the Year Ended 31 December 2020 (contd) Plans for 2021 We welcome Henry Hope in the summer as a training Curate. FINANCIAL REVIEW The accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1.1 to the accounts and comply with the Charities Act 2011, Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 102 and the Charity Commission’s Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities. Main Sources of Funds The PCC relies heavily on support, gifts and donations received from its congregation, benefactors, visitors and fundraising events for which it is deeply grateful. This year we also received an excellent response to our Covid Bounce Back Appeal. The PCC has also benefited from significant grants to support key projects, as well as the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme grants totalling £133,529 and business grants received in relation to Covid-19.
Performance for the year The PCC’s consolidated accounts incorporating the accounts of Hexham Abbey Trading Limited show a deficit for the year of £88,176, the main components of which was operational expenditure of £1,101,304 (£978,925 plus £122,379 depreciation charge), offset by grants, donations and other income of £1,013,128. The PCC’s consolidated designated funds stand at £2,798,229 which includes £2,301 ,803 in fixed assets. At the end of the year the PCC’s general unrestricted fund stood at £83,303 and free reserves stood at £579,729 at the year end, including designated funds.
Reserves and Investment Pollcies
The PCC does not intend to build up large reserves. However, it faces particular uncertainties at present, so to minimise the risk of being unable to meet all its financial obligations as they fall due, including full payment of the diocesan parish share, it aims to hold sufficient liquid general fund resources to meet one year’s operating costs. Cash required for immediate use is held in current accounts with a main clearing bank. Cash not required for immediate use is held in interest-bearing accounts with either a main clearing bank or an equivalent institution. The PCC has taken action to reduce its exposure to risk so that deposits are guaranteed under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
The PCC’s ethical investment policy guides all investment decisions.

----- End of picture text -----
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note [1] to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditionsconcern for that, a periodindividuallyof at least or collectively, twelve monthsmayfrom cast when significantthe original doubt onfinancial the company'sstatementsabilitywere toauthorised continue asfor a goingissue.

The other information comprises the information included in the statementsannual reportdoes othernot thancover the the financialother informationstatements andand, exceptour auditor’sto the reportextent thereon.otherwiseOurexplicitly opinionstated on thein financialour report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Hexham Abbey
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Hexham Abbey
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; - certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: [www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities}]. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
-
the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the design of the charity's remuneration policies, key drivers for directors’ remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets; * results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities. * any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the charity's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to: - identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Hexham Abbey
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Hexham Abbey
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud to be in relation to management override which, in common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are required to perform specific procedures to respond to this risk.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Charities Act and pensions legislation. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not havea direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the charity's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context related to the Health and Safety Act.
As a result of performing the above, in response to the risks identified, we did not identify any key audit matters related to the potential risk of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements; * enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; * performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; * reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and + in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Use of this report This report is made solely to the Charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and the requlations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or the opinions we have

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year ended 31 December 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of treland (FRS 102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Statement of Financiai Activities (SOFA) and Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the PCC and its subsidiary undertakings.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
1.2 FUND ACCOUNTING
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Members in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

The withcostsspecificof raisingrestrictionsand administeringimposed by donorssuch or funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.3 INGOME
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, probability of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
For legacies, entitlement is when the legacy has been received or, if earlier, there is sufficient evidence that, in line with the SORP, it is probable that the legacy will be received and the value of the income can be measured with sufficient reliability. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Funds raised by events are accounted for gross of expenditure. Rental income from letting of church premises is accounted for on a receivable basis. Parochial fees due to the PCC for weddings, funerals etc. are accounted for on an event basis. Collections are recognised when made.
Grants are included as income when the income is received with the exception of grants to fund specific items of expenditure, where income is recognised in the period corresponding to the expenditure. Grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund are included as income when the conditions of probability, entitlement and measurability

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.4 EXPENDITURE
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
The Diocesan parish share is accounted for when payable and any quota unpaid at the year end is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Terminations and redundancy payments have been accounted for on a payable basis.
1.5 GOING CONCERN
The Charity has considered whether the use of going concern basis is appropriate. To do this, they have considered whether there are any material uncertainties as to the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Following the COVID-19 outbreak, the trustees have prepared detailed budgets to take into account the uncertainties surrounding the pandemic and its effect on their ability to operate. As a result of this review, the trustees remain confident that there are sufficient financial resources available to see the Charity through until normal operations resume and are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
1.6 INVESTMENTS Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
Dividends and interest are accounted for when due. Tax recoverable on such income is accrued for on the same basis. 1.7 STOCK Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

1.8 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
All assets costing more than £2,500 are capitalised by the PCC. No capitalisation de minimis has been applied in Hexham Abbey Trading Ltd.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
----- Start of picture text -----
|||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|Freehold|property|(other than|heritage|assets)|Not depreciated|
|Fixed|equipment|10%|straight|line|
|Loose furniture|and|fittings|16.67% and|33.33% straight|line|
|Office|equipment|25%|straight|line|
|Other tangible|fixed|assets|2%|straight|line|
----- End of picture text -----
Heritage Assets are not subject to depreciation but are subject to annual impairment review.
Consecrated and benefice properties are excluded from the financial statements in accordance with section 10 of the Charities Act 2011.
Moveable church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are treated as inalienable property. Prior to 2008, all expenditure incurred on consecrated or beneficial buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, was written off. The SORP requires all improvement costs to be capitalised. No attempt has been made in these accounts to capitalise costs incurred in previous years. This departure from the SORP is considered justifiable on the basis that the depreciated value of these costs is unlikely to be material in the context of the accounts.
No attempt has been made to value artefacts and other historic objects held by the PCC for a considerable number of years and for which information relating to their original costs is not available.
1.9 INVESTMENT PROPERTIES
Investment properties are included in the accounts at fair value. No depreciation is charged on investment properties in line with FRS 102.
1.10 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The financial statements consolidate the accounts of the PCC and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.
1.11 OPERATING LEASES
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

The net book value for land and buitdings is made up of the following properties: The Priory Buildings and adjoining land - Acquired for the Hexham Abbey Project and leased to Hexham Abbey Heritage, until 31 December 2017 when they were transferred to Hexham Abbey PCC. Expenditure on refurbishment of the Priory Buildings, but not expenditure on the exhibition or on furniture or equipment (except where this cannot practicably be separated from expenditure on the buildings), has been treated as relating to a heritage asset, which, having an indefinite life, is not subject to depreciation.
The Henry Perlee Parker Painting - Included at valuation, which was carried out by Anderson and Garland Valuers on 21 June 2004. The Members' consider that the current valuation of the painting will not be substantially different to the valuation carried out in 2004. The painting was reclassified from investments to heritage assets two years ago, as this is a more accurate reflection of the assets use and purpose.
Details of transactions relating to heritage assets for the past six years are as follows:
Additions £ 2014 1,447,723 2015-2017 49,985 2018 (2,565) 2019 (2,565) The PCC also owns The Deposition, a 16th century Flemish oil-on-canvas painting2020 now known(2,565)to be the centrepiece of a triptych. The painting is not presently kept in the Abbey, as the PCC has loaned the painting to a third party charity for exhibition. The characteristics and provenance of The Deposition mean that the trustees are unable to obtain a reliable estimate of valuation in accordance with FRS102, the range of valuations already having been obtained stretching from £80,000 to £150,000. On this basis, The Deposition has not been included as a heritage asset in the balance sheet.
