The Clergy Property and Glebe Management team is responsible for the care and maintenance of 235 clergy properties, and other diocesan buildings.
Every year the team assist around twenty clergy and curates to move into or out of our properties and arrange for building works and maintenance to meet the needs of clergy and their families. When properties are vacant, the team aims to generate income for the diocese by renting out the properties.
