Book excerpt: Excerpt from Encyclopaedia of the Laws of England, Vol. 6: With Forms and Precedents Faculty and Court of Faculties. - A faculty in ecclesiastical law signifies a permission given by the ordinary (or in some cases the Archbishop of Canterbury) for the doing some act which is unlawful without it. The faculties which must be obtained from the Archbishop of Canterbury (in both provinces alike) are - (1) A faculty to be ordained deacon under twenty-three years of age; (2) to hold two livings at once; (3) to be married at any place or time; (4) to act as a notary-public (as to which, see infra), and his powers are derived from Stat. 25 Hen. VII. c. 21, 1533. A faculty for (2) is more usually called a dispensation, and as to it see Pluralities; for (3), more often called a special licence, see Licence, Marriage. Faculties ordinarily so called relate to alterations in ecclesiastical buildings and lands, and are obtained from the Consistory Court of the ordinary or bishop of the diocese. Cathedrals are exempt from the law requiring a faculty before such alterations are made (Phillpotts v. Boyd, 1875, 6 L. R. P. C. 435, at p. 456; and see Dean and Chapter); but in all other cases a faculty is necessary. Thus it is required for a vault, and may be obtained for this purpose by a living non-parishioner (see In re Sargent, 1890, 15 P.D. 168), for the removal of a body In re Talbot, [1901] P. 1), for which purpose it will be granted on sanitary grounds (see e.g. Rector, etc., of St. Michael Bassishaw v. Parishioners, [1893] P. 233), but not with a view to cremation q.v.); and for the erection of a monument (see, as to monuments in chancels, article Chancel).
