Baptism / Christening

in St. Mary’s Church


St. Mary’s warmly welcomes infants, young children, young persons or adults for baptism

Whenever it happens, whether as a baby, child or adult, baptism is at the heart of an amazing journey of faith as a follower of Jesus Christ. You are never too old to take this step, and being baptized as an adult is a wonderful experience.

As parents of young children or infants you don't have to have been christened yourselves, and you don't have to have been a regular churchgoer.

You can discover all you need to know about choosing, planning and going to a Church of England christening at these very helpful web pages:

Information on baptism for young persons or adults can be found at:

If you would like to talk to someone in the church about baptism for your children or adult baptism please contact the Rector:
