HC Deb 27 January 1930 vol 234 c648W
Mr. W. TAYLOR

asked the hon. Member for Carlisle, as representing the Church Estates Commissioners, whether the Ecclesiastical Commissioners are aware of the unanimous wish of the parishioners of Great and Little Massingham, Norfolk, to retain and continue their separate parochial lights of worship in their respective parish churches as in the past; and upon what grounds it is proposed to close one or other of these ancient churches?

Mr. MIDDLETON

The scheme for the union of the benefices of Great and Little Massingham is prepared under the Union of Benefices Measure, 1923, and will leave the parishes distinct as heretofore but under one incumbent: each church will remain a parish church and neither will be closed.
