Copyright
advowson. The right of appointing a clergyman to a parish or other ecclesiastical benefice. Advowsons may be held by the diocesan bishop or some other person (known as the ‘patron’). A patron, who may be an individual or a corporation, clerical or lay, presents the candidate to the bishop for
institution and
induction; the latter may for due cause reject the nominee. Advowson in the C of E is a property right which can pass by gift, inheritance, or (until 1923) by sale. Since the Patronage (Benefices) Measure 1986, however, only communicant members of the C of E or a Church in communion with it can exercise the right of patronage, and nominations require the consent of the bishop and representatives of the
Parochial Church Council.
