Weddings

We are delighted that you are considering being married in our church.

A wedding is a time for celebration as two people publicly commit
themselves to each other and become officially a couple. It is a time for families and friends to share the joy of the couple getting married.

When the wedding takes place in church then it is also a time to ask God's blessing on the relationship.

Our church is Norman, the original part dating from 1152, and set in attractive surroundings.

You can marry in our church if you can show:- That one of you:

● has at any time lived in our parish for a period of at
     least 6 months or

● was baptised in our parish or

● was prepared for confirmation in the parish or

● has at any time regularly gone to normal church services in our parish
     church for a period of at least 6 months or

● That one of your parents, at any time after you were born: has lived
     in the parish for a period of at least 6 months or

● has regularly gone to normal church services in the parish church for
     a period of at least 6 months or

● That one of your parents or grandparents: was married in the parish.

Even if you cannot demonstrate any of the above connections, we will help you explore whether it may still be possible for you to marry in our church.

If either of you have been married before and your previous spouse is still living it is possible to be married in church. This will be handled on an individual basis following the completion of an enquiry form and a meeting.

The first thing you should do is to contact Sue Welch to arrange a date.

You will have the opportunity to meet other couples who are soon to be married. Our organist, Malcolm Charsley will be happy to help you select music and hymns for the wedding. Our Vicar, Pat Quint will also make a time to talk with you and discuss the service.
