Weddings are sometimes possible by special licence if the couple can prove a genuine, longstanding and continuing link to Holy Trinity, Coverham.  Alternatively, couples may have a wedding blessing, where they are married legally either the day before or in the morning at a registry office.  This service is very similar to a marriage service and includes the exchanging of vows.  Please contact Liz and Jeff as above.

If permission is granted for a special service, the following must be considered and discussed with the Co-Rectors: 1. Fees, 2. Permission for parking in adjacent field, 3. Cleaning of church, 4.Environmentally friendly flowers, 5. Careful use of candles, 6. Collection.

NB Currently there is no lighting, heating or toilet facilities in the church, although these are all on the desired project list.

“the hermit, who would require his grave to be as quiet as his cell, would choose this churchyard to be his burial place.” -The Reverend John Pickford, A Week in the Yorkshire Dales, 1882
