Church Electoral Roll – 2026 revision
A new Church Electoral Roll was created in 2025 for the next 6 years.
The Roll is revised each year for the Parochial Church Council (PCC) to allow for additions, change of address etc, to be made in time for the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM), this year held in church on Sunday 17th May 2026. Only members of the Roll may take part in the business of the APCM.
The 2026 revision of the Roll took place from 29th March to 26th April with 221 members at 17 May 2025, after 7 additions and 2 deletions.
The revised Roll was published as a list of names on the website and on the church porch notice board for checking before the APCM. A copy of the Roll is available for inspection at the back of church after services.
The next revision of the Roll will be in February 2027 but new members of the congregation may join before then by completing an application form available from the duty warden after a service.
Please contact me if you have any questions about the Roll.
