To all to whom these presents shall come the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England send greeting:

WHEREAS a new church has been built within the parish of Tuxleaf, otherwise Tuxlith, otherwise Milland, in the county of Sussex, and in the diocese of Chichester, and has been consecrated and dedicated to Saint Luke.

And whereas the Right Reverend Richard, Bishop of the said diocese of Chichester, as such Bishop, and as the patron in right of his see of the vicarage of the said parish of Tuxleaf, otherwise Tuxlith, otherwise Milland, and the Reverend Thomas Robinson Peebles, Clerk in Holy Orders, the Vicar or Incumbent of the same vicarage, have, by an instrument under their hands, certified to us, the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, that it would be for the convenience of the said parish of Tuxleaf, otherwise Tuxlith, otherwise Milland, that the said new church of Saint Luke, situate within such parish, should be substituted for the old parish church (also dedicated to Saint Luke) of the same parish.

Now, therefore, we, the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, in exercise and execution of the power or authority in that behalf contained in the Act of the eighth and ninth years of Her present Majesty, chapter seventy, and in the Act of the nineteenth and twentieth years of Her said Majesty, chapter fifty-five, and of all other powers or authorities in anywise enabling us in the same behalf, do, by this instrument under our common seal, with the consent (testified as hereinafter mentioned) of the said Richard, Bishop of the said diocese of Chichester, and of the said Thomas Robinson Peebles, hereby declare that the said new church of Saint Luke, situate within the said parish of Tuxleaf, otherwise Tuxlith, otherwise Milland, and duly consecrated as aforesaid, shall be, and the same is hereby, substituted for the said old parish church (dedicated to Saint Luke as aforesaid) of the same parish, and that such new church shall henceforth be the parish church of the said parish of Tuxleaf, otherwise Tuxlith, otherwise Milland, in lieu of the said old parish church of Saint Luke as fully in all respects as if the said new church of Saint Luke so hereby substituted had been originally the parish church of the same parish.

And we, the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, in further pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities aforesaid, and with such consents as aforesaid (testified as hereinafter mentioned), do hereby transfer all the endowments, emoluments, and rights of or belonging to the said old parish church (dedicated to Saint Luke as aforesaid) of the said parish of Tuxleaf, otherwise Tuxlith, otherwise Milland, or of or belonging to the Vicar or Incumbent thereof, to the said new church of Saint Luke (now being by virtue of these presents the parish church of the said parish of Tuxleaf, otherwise Tuxlith, otherwise Milland), and to the Vicar or Incumbent thereof, and his successors for ever.

In witness whereof to these presents, we, the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, have set our common seal, and the said Richard, Bishop of the said diocese of Chichester, has set his hand and affixed his episcopal seal, and the said Thomas Robinson Peebles has set his hand and affixed his seal, this twenty-first day of June, in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four.
