Church Buildings Council

The Central Council for the Care of Churches was formed in 1917, developing from the Central Committee for the Protection of English Churches under the Archbishops' Council.

Francis Carolus Eeles was the first honorary secretary from 1917. He served as paid secretary from 1926 until his death in 1954.[1])

In 2007 it joined with the Cathedrals Fabric Commission for England, which had been set up following the Care of Cathedrals Measure 1990, to become the Church Buildings Council. [2]

It published a series of reports on its work which were published by the Church Information Office.[3]
