Are you planning a wedding?

for 28 days

As we write this article it is nearly Valentine’s Day and Easter, a traditional time for weddings, will soon be upon us so love is in the air.

Would you like a church wedding? We have eight beautiful churches for you to choose from, each in one of our lovely villages. Have a look through this magazine for details of the parishes. Each church has its own character but whichever you choose, you are guaranteed a warm welcome and every assistance you need to make your big day run smoothly.

There are also some excellent venues for your wedding reception in the area.

We have a central system for all wedding administration making it easy to check availability and to complete your application form, including guidance on all the legal requirements.

Each of our churches has a person who leads on weddings and will be your main contact for all practical matters. They can arrange to show you round initially and then if you book that church, they will guide you through the months of planning, offering advice on everything you need to know about a wedding in that particular church.

Our own clergy team, along with local retired clergy, will be a great support to you in the run up to your wedding. The appointed clergy member will meet with you well in advance to go through all the arrangements and will arrange a rehearsal for you before the big day. On the day itself they will conduct a beautiful ceremony for you and your guests.

To make an initial inquiry please contact Elizabeth Jarrett, our Wedding Administrator on 07534 - 915068, email [email protected] or click on "Get in touch" on this page.

St. Peter's Anglican Church, Gayton, Staffordshire.

St. Peter's Church is Grade II* listed, was built in the 12th century, and retains the original Norman chancel arch along with several 13th and 14th century features. The nave and tower were rebuilt in 1732, and the church underwent extensive restoration in 1870. The tower houses two bells, one inscribed "Jesus Be Our Spede 1608" cast by Willam Clibury, the other cast in 1748 by Matthew Bagley.
The walls are built from grey sandstone, local hand-made brick and ashlar, although some stonework from the earlier building has been incorporated.

If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
