The Parochial Church Council of Ottery St Mary the Virgin, St Edward the Confessor and the Saints
Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2022
Aim and Purpose
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Ottery St Mary (“the PCC”) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Incumbent, the Reverend Lydia Cook, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. As well as St Mary’s Church, it also has responsibility for the Church of St Edward the Confessor, Wiggaton (“Wiggaton”) which is licensed as a District Church, with its own elected District Council and Deputy Churchwarden.
Objectives and Activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our Churches, and to become part of our parish family. When planning our activities, 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. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish family, through:
-
Worship and prayer: learning about the Gospel, and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus;
-
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish; and
-
Mission and outreach work.
Achievements and Performance
Worship and Prayer
With the end of covid restrictions the church has enjoyed a “normal” year of worship with an established pattern of Sunday services. Ottery St Mary church offers a range of styes: BCP Holy Communion and Evensong, and Common Worship Holy Communion and Morning Worship. Fifth Sundays offer a more informal praise service and a healing service. Wiggaton has 2 services a month, either 2 services of Common Worship Holy Communion, or one Holy Communion and Morning Worship.
Midweek prayer is offered in both Ottery and Wiggaton. In February, as a result of the invasion of Ukraine, we launched Prayers for Peace on a Thursday at 5pm (since Sept 4.30pm). MU Holy Communion is celebrated on the 1[st] Thursday.
At present there are 126 parishioners on the Electoral Roll, 114 of whom live within the parish. 1 name was added during the year, and 7 were removed, either because of death or moving away. The average Sunday attendance at the 10.30am Service on Sundays was 80.
Lent was observed with an Ash Wednesday service of Holy Communion, and a weekly Lent course (on Zoom). In Holy Week we held a simple service of Holy Communion on Maundy Thursday with the stripping of the altars. We joined in the Love Ottery Walk of Witness on Good Friday and had an afternoon Service of Reflection on the Cross. Easter Day was celebrated with a joyous service of Holy Communion.
Rogation was celebrated for the first time in many decades with an outside processional service. On Trinity Sunday we welcomed all the churches of the OVMC together for a service of Holy Communion followed by a picnic.
The Remembrance services were very well attended by the town and uniformed organisations.
The annual Advent Carol service for the Mission Community was well supported. We welcomed the Guides and The Kings School for their carol services and held our own Carols by Candlelight. We were invited to sing carols at the Coffee Bank and the Lighthouse Choir led our Crib-stingle service which was once more packed with over 450 people in attendance.
As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. There have been 21 Baptisms, 10 weddings and 28 funerals (13 in church and 15 at the crematorium) during the year.
Those who are no longer able to come to Church are not forgotten: Holy Communion is received at home or in a care home by 30+ people each month. There is a prayer list in the weekly Pew News and audio sermons are available on the website.
Church attendance is increasing.
Groups
House groups got back to normal with Tuesday group, Explore and Gateway all meeting regularly. After the Big Questions evenings in August, a new Tuesday afternoon House group started.
Other Midweek groups either began or flourished in 2022: Tots’ Time, Tots’ Praise, Lighthouse Choir and Coffee and Chat. The Link group and Healing Group also restarted.
Deanery Synod
Four members of the PCC sit on the Otter Vale Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with a link with the churches around us, and also with the Diocese as a whole. It also receives reports from the General Synod.
Church Fabric
St Mary’s church building is vested in Ottery St Mary Church Corporation (“The Governors”) by Royal Charter. As such the PCC has no responsibility for the upkeep of the fabric. The PCC has a working relationship with the Church Corporation, for which they are very grateful. Wiggaton building maintenance is self-funded, with the year-end restricted fund for that purpose standing at £20,273.
Mission and Evangelism
The Explore home group have supported Kay Ammon, based in Kenya, in her work to combat gender-based violence. Members of Explore and the wider Parish Church together generously pay to support Kay’s daughter’s schooling in Kenya. Outreach into the community continued with 2 Family Fun Days in Ottery and Wiggaton Church was able to hold its Christmas Dinner again, with nearly 30 villagers attending.
Other Activities
In March each year the PCC publishes a separate document containing reports and details of the 22 organisations and groups that are part of our Church family.
Safeguarding
The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
Volunteers
The members of the PCC would like to thank all the volunteers who work so tirelessly to make our Church a lively and vibrant community. Our especial thanks go to our Churchwardens and Deputy wardens.
Structure, Governance and Management
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The Council comprises the Incumbent, the Churchwardens, a representative of the Readers (if so decided at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting [“APCM”]), those elected to the Deanery Synod, and other members who are elected at the APCM by those on the Electoral Roll. Wiggaton’s District Church Council is constituted such that, on an annual basis, a representative from one of Wiggaton’s habitual worshippers shall be elected as a PCC member at the APCM.
Members of the congregation are always encouraged to join the Electoral Roll, and, if so qualified, to consider standing for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance in the parish, and for all financial matters. The full PCC met 12 times during the year. The average level of attendance was 76%. To facilitate its work, the PCC operates through a number of committees, which meet between full meetings of the PCC.
Standing Committee.
This Committee met 9 times. This is the only committee required by law. It also had 4 liaison meetings with the Church Corporation (The Governors) to discuss matters of common interest.
Link sub-committee attends to pastoral matters, supporting existing and new members. The Charitable Giving Group recommends to the PCC those charities which the church might support and supplies ongoing information to the church community at large.

Financial Review 2022
Our unrestricted funds for St Mary’s (Ottery) show a surplus (over payments) of £13,814 on receipts of £120,531. St Edward’s (Wiggaton) contributed an additional surplus of £599 on receipts of £6,566. Our combined Diocesan Common Fund contribution was set at £65,671 of which we were able to pay in full. This is the first time in 10 years that we have managed to do this.
- Unrestricted funds Receipts
The consolidated surplus of unrestricted receipts compared with 2021 (£26,118 higher, £25,091 attributable to St Mary’s and £1,027 to St Edward’s) can be largely explained as follows
Decreases vs 2021
-
For St Mary’s, statutory fees from weddings and funerals decreased by £1,775, reflecting a return to a more ‘normal’ number of wedding bookings compared to 2021’s unusual level following the cessation of COVID lock-downs.
-
Increases vs 2021
-
An increase of £6,718 across planned giving and ad-hoc giving at services, split +£2,461 and +£4,257 respectively. As a knock-on effect, gift aid recovery from HMRC increased by £1,363.
-
Donations across the two churches increased by £5,085, however £3,000 of this related to an extraordinary item.
-
For St Mary’s, hire of the church building increased by £479, and Fundraising across the two churches increased by £5,276 with significant post-COVID activity being seen in both churches.
-
St Mary’s Church Shop receipts increased by £1,381 over the previous year. The balance against cost of stock was positive by £3,515, reflecting both the sourcing of new stock lines and the shifting of more old stock.
-
Grants (unrestricted) were received to the value of £9,322 (+£6,882 vs 2021) from the Friends [F], the Governors [G], the Heale Trust [H], and Exeter Diocese [E]; consisting of contributions to
-
[F] advertising our Church Services after COVID restrictions were loosened/lifted (£440)
-
[F] purchase of replacements for faulty amplifiers (£2,962)
-
[F] purchase of a portable PA; and an office printer to replace the leased printer (£728)
-
[F] use of the church building - a contribution from a Friends’ fundraising event (£279)
-
[F] St Mary’s Queen’s Jubilee events, from external sponsorship via the Friends; and re. Flower Festival (£150 x 2)
-
[G] cost of floodlighting the church (£504)
-
[G] 25% of our cleaning costs (£514)
-
[H] Heating repair & maintenance (£764)
-
[E] Grant from Exeter Diocese through decision of General Synod to aid churches struggling with the extraordinary increases in energy costs (£2,860).
-
-
The results of fundraising initiatives significantly beat expectations (gross receipts for St Mary’s +£3,516, for St Edwards +£1,760 over 2021). Net of payments, the activity for St Mary’s is shown in the table below.

- Unrestricted funds Payments
2022 saw a much higher recovery of post-COVID activity levels than was anticipated and budgeted – leading to increased associated costs in some of those areas, e.g. church service costs (+£254) and fundraising costs (+£1,058). Activity levels also partially affected payroll costs (St Mary’s) which increased by £1,464, although an additional contributory factor was the April increase in the rate of the National Living Wage, and an associated pay review for the Administrator[1] .
The decision to move the Church Office from the Loft (part of the Vicars’ House, but the PCC had the use thereof over many years) into one of the Church Vestries incurred costs of £1806, of which £491 (new printer) was offset by a grant. The move took place in August 2022, after which the electricity, gas and telephone charges for use of the loft ceased; as did the printer lease and usage charges.
Both to encourage sales in the Church Shop, and donations from congregants at Life Events, a portable card reader was purchased. The WiFi reach within the church building was also extended, in support of this initiative. Costs incurred were £344.
In respect of church energy costs, our charity has been subject to unprecedented price increases in line with other businesses/charities. The increases were mitigated by our fixed price electricity contract (ends April 2023) and gas contract (ended November 2022). For the last three months of the year, our gas bills also benefited from the Energy Bill Relief Scheme. Nevertheless, in 2022, St Mary’s church building energy costs increased by £1,174 (22%); St Edward’s rose by £162 (53%).
In respect of gas, in July 2022 the PCC decided to take out a new, 48-month fixed price contract with the existing supplier at 10.75 pence per kWH. The PCC also decided to cap gas usage at 40,000 kW per annum, requiring the heating to be turned off for certain periods; and to increase the seasonal heating supplement charge to hirers of the church and for use at life events.
As stated above, in 2022 the charity paid its Common Fund in full. However, as a result of reducing Participation Numbers over the last three years, the Diocesan request (£65,671) for 2022 was £11,811 lower than in 2021. St Edward’s contribution in 2022 was £4,600 (+£520).
Clergy expenses reduced pro-rata by £240 to £2,140.
For outgoing charitable grants, the PCC continued its policy, in respect of St Mary’s, not to make such grants to other charities out of general fund donations. Special collections and charity-designated ad-hoc collections for such bodies are treated as liabilities and remitted to the targeted organisations along with any Gift Aid due, the latter to be reclaimed later. The breakdown of such remittances is shown in Table 2 below. St Edward’s took designated collections at services to the value of £492 – distribution detail to the right of Table 2 below.
1It is the church's policy to pay at least the national minimum wage to its staff. Pay levels are reviewed annually and adjusted by 2% or to align with any change in the national living wage. At the end of 2021, the PCC was informed of the statutory 6.6% increase in the National Living Wage from April 2022.

Restricted cash reserves for both churches are largely invested in the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund, apart from the Toilets, where a proportion of the investment is in a CBF Investment fund.
The value of such investment funds fell in line with the global market turmoil; interest income on ‘cash’ accounts remained negligible until bank rates rose at the end of the year following the onset of significant levels of inflation.

Financial governance
During the year, the Treasurer reported in detail on a monthly basis, both to the PCC and the Standing Committee, on the progress of St Mary’s finances against budget and against the previous year. St Edward’s financial activities were reported bi-monthly.
The PCC has a written policy outlining who may authorise what level of expenditure, and the level at which alternative estimates/quotes need to be obtained. The PCC is satisfied that the way in which receipts are handled is secure and achieves an acceptable level of accountability.
Reserves Policy
St Mary’s unrestricted reserves policy is to retain sufficient cash funds to cover three months’ normal expenditure (equivalent in 2022 to about £26K). For the first time in many years, 2022 saw our reserves able to cover 2.6 months of expenditure; the budget process for 2023 suggested that as a minimum, some £4-5k in cash would need to be carried over from the 2022 year-end in order to provide sufficient cash for the first few months of 2023. St Edward’s has about £6.5k in its unrestricted General Fund which represents 13 months’ expenditure coverage.
Basis of accounts
The accounts have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis.
