Miscellaneous bodies corporate

The main sorts of other bodies corporate are chartered corporations, such as the BBC or the RICS, and statutory corporations. These arise respectively from creation by a royal charter or an Act of Parliament.

There are probably a couple of thousand chartered corporations and tens of thousands of statutory corporations, including basically every entity in local government all the way down to the trustees of a parish meeting. The parochial church council of each Church of England parish is also a corporate body for similar reasons.
