 Rulings
of the Lord Chamberlain during the early 1900s indicate that it is
not proper for churches of the Church of England to fly the Union
Flag. However, there are certain State occasions when it may be
appropriate, such as the Anniversary of the Accession.
Even on these days, the Diocesan Flag is the preferred flag to be
flown from churches.
The Union Flag is a combination of the national flags of England and
Scotland and the St Patrick’s Cross of Ireland, and first came into
existence with the Act of Union of 1701.
It is the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland. This is why it is not always appropriate to use this flag:
Scotland, Ireland and Wales have their own national Churches.
