The Electoral Roll

Every year, all parishes in the Church of England are required to prepare a new Electoral Roll as part of the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) process.

This year, the Electoral Roll must undergo a complete renewal, not just a revision. This means that everyone who wishes to remain on the Electoral Roll must reapply.

Closing date for applications - 30th April 2025.

Application for Electoral Roll

This is a list of church members who, by being included on the Roll, have the right to attend the Annual Parochial Church Meeting and elect, or be elected as, members of the Parochial Church Council and Deanery Synod representatives. It is the nearest thing a Church of England Parish has to a formal Membership qualification, and members, even though not residents in the parish, can also qualify to act as Sidesmen at church services, apply to send children to church schools, and be married or buried at the Parish Churches. The wider Church uses the numbers of members in a variety of official statistics

Becoming a member of the Electoral Roll implies accepting a responsibility in corporate worship, prayer, service, fellowship, financial support and sharing the Gospel, so that the Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified.

The current list of members is displayed publicly in our Churches, but for Privacy reasons their contact details are no longer included.
