Orders in Council, together with pastoral schemes and Church Commissioners' or Bishops' orders, many with plans showing alterations to benefices and boundaries etc. Most items include an original, sealed copy of the order, together with a number
of smaller, printed copies. Apart from covering letters, very little correspondence is contained within the series.
Arranged in numerical order, except for the earliest orders, which are in an alpha sequence from A to U. This order is the same as that used in the manuscript indexes previously maintained in the Diocesan Registry (from which the following list
is largely derived), and is roughly chronological.
Note that no attempt is made within this list to preserve the legal spelling and format of parish or benefice names, except where necessary to the description of the parish/benefice reorganisation concerned. Instead, our usual format (such as
'Billingham St Aidan') is used, in order to facilitate searching across the catalogues.
Manuscript notes on plans with the pre-1900 Orders in Council (DDR/EA/BEP/4/A-358) are kept with the printed catalogues within Palace Green Library.
Online versions of the London Gazette are available at www.thegazette.co.uk, and can be used to search for any Orders published therein. When searching, note that the date of publication is
generally later than the date of order noted within this list, and leave 'Notice type' at 'Show all' (not 'Church').
21st century pastoral orders and schemes are listed at
DDR/EA/BEP/13. As well as related records within
this section of the Durham Diocesan Records, see also other Diocesan Registry
records relating to the Sharing of Church Buildings (
DDR/EA/CHS), the Designation of Parish Centres of Worship (
DDR/EA/CHW) and Suspension of Presentation (
DDR/EA/PAS).
Records from the Pastoral Committee are in the separate catalogue of Diocesan Office records, under
DDR/DA/PAS.
This series relates to County Durham parishes and chapelries only. Similar material for Northumberland if it survives (including pre-1882 material) should be among the Newcastle Diocesan Records in the
Northumberland Archives.
