Baptisms, Weddings & Funerals

The Church of England helps to celebrate and commemorate many of the milestones on the journey through life; these include weddings, funerals, and also baptism and confirmation services.  

If you wish to find out more about these, the first step is to contact either your local parish priest, or a Church of England chaplain. They will be able to tell you more and arrange for a meeting if you then wish to take things further.

Most churches in the diocese display the phone number of the priest or the parish office on the outside notice board. Otherwise you could try the local library or telephone book. If you contact the wrong church, they’ll usually be able to tell you the contact number for the right one.

There is a list of parishes on this website.


Fees

The Church of England has standard legal fees for these services and other facilities. Some of the fees are set by Act of Parliament, and some are set locally.

Fees usually increase annually on 1st January each year, so please allow for an increase if you are planning a baptism or wedding for next year. The Church Commissioners publish a Table of Fees each year.
