In reply to James Malloch:
As for Andrew, our solicitor sorted this out when we bought our current house.
However, just to make sure nothing untoward happened I paid a visit to the parish vicar, to whom any chancel repair bills would go, and advised him that it was in the churches best interests not to attempt to try and invoke an outdated and medieval tax on the populace and suggested that if they did, the English Reformation would seem like a garden party.
Imagine my surprise when he informed me that this was not the parish church but the local Buddhist temple. How we both laughed.
