We have a lovely church for couples to get married in.
In the first instance, contact the Vicar to arrange a time to visit and start the booking process. If you have been married previously, you may still be able to get married in church. Have a chat with the vicar. Weddings can take place on any day of the week, and we will try to accommodate you if we are able to.
Getting married in church is special, and invites God’s blessing on your marriage, as well as recognising the solemnity of commitment you make together in front of your friends and families and before God.
In the months leading up to your marriage you may have some sessions with the Minister at times to be arranged. These will include the arrangements for the service, and time spent in thinking through the commitment you are making to each other in the sight of God.
There are fees charged for weddings, the Vicar will work out the costs for your wedding.
There is really useful information for wedding couples on the Church of England website called 'Your Church Wedding' which can be found by clicking here.

Most people choose to have a funeral at the crematorium or cemetery, and a Minister will take the service on request for anyone who lives in the Parish. You will be able to choose readings and what is to be said about your loved one and choose music or songs appropriate to the person.
If you choose to have a funeral service in church, then you can have a bit longer for the service, and the opportunity for singing hymns as well as including favourite music or songs if you wish.
A service in church is then followed by a short committal service at the crematorium or cemetery.
The funeral company you choose will contact us to arrange the date and time.
