Weddings
Marriage
in the Church of England
Anyone
lawfully entitled to be married, and who has not previously been
married is entitled to be married at the parish church where they
or their partner reside, or where one of them is on the Electoral
Roll as a member. This reflects the parish system which is
the basic unit of the Church of England, and which ensures that
there is a church and a clergy person responsible for the pastoral
and spiritual care of people in every place in the country.
We
try to observe the parish system when it comes to weddings. This
ensures that ‘popular’ parishes are not overloaded, and that
people have the chance to develop a relationship with their own
parish church.
If you have another family connection
with the parish this may also entitle you to be married here.
Please
see the more detailed information available on the Church
of England web site.
If
you are eligible and wish to book a wedding at St. Martin’s,
please contact the Rector, the Revd James Richards:

Marriage
after a divorce
In
certain circumstances, where one of the couple wishing to be
married has previously been divorced, it may be possible to be
married at St Martin’s. This should be mentioned in your initial
enquiry.
