How to book your Baptism
 Baptism of babies, children and adults is carried out on
the 2nd Sunday of the month (not in August or December) at 3.00p.m.
Families that live in the parish will be visited in their homes by a
Baptism Visitor from the church who will give them all the information
they need to complete this process (The process may be slightly
different for older children and adults). Families from outside the
parish must first come to the church where they will meet the Vicar who
will speak to them about the procedure. In all cases contact must be
made initially through the Parish Office: (Tues - Fri 10am to 12 noon)
Tel: 01245 422846.
How to book your Wedding
 To marry in the Parish Church there are two qualifications.
One of the couple must reside in the Parish or one of them must
'habitually worship' in the Parish. If neither of the couple fulfil
either of these qualifications, one or other or both should worship
there for 26 weeks in order to qualify to go on the Electoral Roll of
the church. In order to do this you must have been christened.
Booking for weddings are made on Saturday mornings in
church between 9.30 and 10.30am. On arrival, the couple will be asked to
complete a form, which resembles a marriage certificate. Following this
a booking may be made. Proof of residence is required if either of the
couple live in the parish.
There is a course on marriage preparation held twice a year
and all couples are invited to attend.
The Banns (Notice of Marriage) are read, if all details are
available, on three consecutive Sundays within three months of the date
of wedding.
All enquires are to go first via the Parish Office 01245
422846 (open Tues to Fri 10 to 12 noon).
