Weddings & Baptisms

All the churches in the Benefice (except St Oswald's, Widford) are licensed for weddings. Anyone who lives in one of the four parishes is eligible to be married in their parish church. In addition, anyone who has attended church regularly and is on the church electoral roll, is eligible to be married in the church which they attend.

In some exceptional circumstances, people who have a close connection with one of the churches, but who don't reside in the parish, may be allowed to be married by archbishop's special licence.

All enquiries about weddings should be directed to the vicar, Richard Coombs.

Anyone living in one of the four parishes, or who attends church regularly, is eligible to be baptised (or to have their children baptised) in their parish church. We expect those who are being baptised, or who are bringing children for baptism, to be practising Christians who are able to make the promises in the baptism service. For those who feel unable to make these promises, a service of thanksgiving for the birth of a child is available.

Baptisms and thanksgivings usually take place during one of the regular Sunday services.

All enquiries about baptisms should be directed to the vicar, Richard Coombs.
