Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022
Accounting policies
Set out below are the principal accounting policies which have been adopted in the
compilation of the Statement of Receipts and Payments and the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities.
Statement of Receipts and Payments
All items of income and expenditure included within the Statement of Receipt5 and
Payments have been accounted for on a cash receipt basis.
Statement of Assets and Liabilities
Assets retainedfvr the Porish's own use
The assets of the Parish, retained for its own use comprise of Land, Church Building and
Graveyard, and the Parish Hall.
The Church Building and Graveyard are deemed to be heritage asset5 as defined by the
Charities SORP (FRS102). These heritage assets are not included in the Statement of Asset5
and Liabilities as information on the cost or valuation is not available and such information
cannot be obtained at a cost commensurate with the benefit to the users of the accounts
and to the Parish.
The Parish Hall was built in the 1900's. There are no reliable records of the cost of this
construction and valuation approach for such a building lack5 sufficient reliability, As a
result this building is not recognised in the Parish's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Glebe House is recognised at deemed cost, being the estimated fair v31ue of the
property at £321,483. No depreciation has been provided on the Glebe House as the
current estimated residual value is not less than its carrying value and the remaining useful
life currently exceeds 50 years.
Investments
Investments in RCB and CIT Trust are initially recorded at cost and then are subsequently
stated at fair value at each year end date.

Unrestrirted Funds
Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the
objectives of the charity. If parts of the unrestricted funds are earmarked at the discretion
of the Trustees for a partlcular purpose, they are desi8nated as a separate fund. The

foreseeable future. Therefore these financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis.
