Life events

Baptisms, weddings and funerals

The moments that mark a life are usually marked in church. Tell your parish what you are hoping for, and someone will get in touch to talk it through with you. You are welcome here, wherever you are in your faith.

Baptism and christening

Children and adults are both welcome. There is no charge, and you do not have to be a regular worshipper to ask. A minister will talk with you about what the day means before anything is arranged.

Weddings

You can marry in church if you live in the parish, worship here, or have a qualifying connection. If you are not sure whether you qualify, ask anyway, and the parish will help you work it out.

Funerals and thanksgivings

A minister can take a funeral at church, at a crematorium, or at a graveside, and can help you plan a thanksgiving service afterwards. If the death has just happened, please call the parish directly as well as sending this enquiry.

If it is urgent

A death, or a hospital visit that cannot wait, needs a person rather than a form. Please telephone the parish office, or your minister, as well as sending an enquiry here.
