David Lammy <div style="text-align:center;">MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY </div> This contains a Warrant to the Lord High Chancellor to pass Letters Patent under the Great Seal whereby Your Majesty is pleased to grant the Restitution of the Temporalities of the Archiepiscopal See of Canterbury unto the Most Reverend and Right Honourable Sarah Elisabeth Mullally, D.B.E., M.Sc., M.A., now Archbishop of that See to commence from the time of the resignation of the Right Reverend and Right Honourable Justin Portal Welby, G.C.V.O., M.A., And this Warrant is prepared according to Your Majesty's Royal Command <table style="width:100%;border:none;border-collapse:collapse;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="border:none;padding:0;vertical-align:top;">Received the 4th day of February 2026 (Sgd.)

David Lammy (Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice) Ornamentation Describe any ornamentation. Black and white Royal Arms at the top. Printed in Times New Roman. Royal name is capitalized and begins with a drop cap. Mullally's name is in boldface. Special Features This is a place to enter any distinguishing features. This Warrant is unusual in that it doesn't include an abbreviated version of the teste clause ("In Witness &c. Witness &c."). This is because, unlike a typical Warrant for the Great Seal, this one doesn't authorize the sealing of a single document. Instead, it authorizes the sealing of several different instruments, including Writs to the relevant escheators as well as a Mandate to the knights, tenants, and freeholders of the Archbishopric of Canterbury. This document refers to Mullally as "Our right trusty and well beloved Counsellor." While this seems to be typical in the case of an archbishop's temporalities (cf. the <a href="https://cbaionline.org/corpus/items/show/571">Warrant for the restitution of Rowan Williams' temporalities</a>), this language doesn't seem to be used when a bishop's temporalities are restored. For example, the <a href="https://cbaionline.org/corpus/items/show/73">Mandate to the knights, tenants, and freeholders of the Bishopric of Bath and Wells</a>) styles the outgoing bishop "the Right Reverend Peter Hancock" rather than "the Right Reverend Our right trusty and well beloved Peter Hancock".
