Weddings & Banns
Couples can be married in the parish church where either of them are resident, or where one has a ‘Qualifying Connection’. All national legal requirements must be met.
If both are UK or Irish citizens, or are EU/EAA citizens with indefinite leave to remain in the UK, they can usually be married after the calling of Banns of Marriage.
These must be called on three separate Sundays in the parish of residence of each of those to be married, and in the parish where the wedding is to take place. The calling of Banns must be completed within the three months before the ceremony, and national statutory fees apply.
Marriage under license may also be possible.
Other couples must seek a Superintendent Registrar Certificate from the Local
Authority Registry Office, and the application must be countersigned by the vicar before submission.

Baptisms
We are delighted to offer baptism to anyone who has or has had a connection with St Saviour’s Church or our parish.
Baptisms take place during our Sunday 10.00am Eucharist when the congregation is present to extend its welcome.
By tradition three godparents are chosen, two of the same gender and one of the opposite and they should all be baptised themselves. If not baptised, then one godparent may be substituted by a sponsor.
Please contact the Parish Administrator, Ann Fellowes to discuss available dates:

''Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit''. Matthew 28:19
Funerals
Funerals can be held in churches, or at licensed cemeteries and crematoriums. St Saviour’s does not have a churchyard for burials, so while funeral services can be held in church, the coffin must then move elsewhere for the final committal for burial or cremation.
Most contacts are made through the family or chosen Funeral Director, but you can also arrange for a church funeral or memorial service directly with the vicar – though the Funeral Director will need to be made aware of the arrangement before booking a date for cremation or burial.
National statutory
fees apply.
