Churches and other religious buildings may be listed but alterations or building works may also be controlled by special codes of practice. For example, the Church of England and the Church in Wales require the issuing of a Faculty by the Chancellor of the Diocese for alterations to a church, churchyard or church furnishings. Advice to the diocese is given by diocesan archaeologists who are normally in contact with their local HERs. DAC advisors are sometimes a member of staff within a local authority historic environment service. Other denominations have similar schemes. In Scotland internal alterations to listed churches are exempt from the need to obtain listed building consent, although external alterations still require consent. The Church of Scotland refers decisions about internal alterations to its Committee of Artistic Matters, the Scottish Episcopal Church refers internal alterations to its Diocesan Advisory Committee, and internal alterations to Catholic churches are the responsibility of individual priests. Many Scottish churches were built after the Reformation on new sites, off the sites of the pre-Reformation churches and cemeteries. Most pre-Reformation cemeteries are maintained by the local authorities, but the law is complex regarding ownership of these cemeteries. Some of the pre-Reformation church and cemetery sites are scheduled ancient monuments.
