The Church
St Margaret's is part of the Parish of Kilmersdon. It is now a redundant Church permitted to be used for Christian worship and services as designated by the Bishop of Bath and Wells. There are no regular services, but it is licensed for Church of England Weddings and requests for this should be made to Rev Sue Greatorex as early as possible with your details and personal requirements.
We work closely with the Management of Babington House in arranging all Weddings etc.
We are not able to conduct Baptisms at St Margaret's, although we are willing for you to arrange for you own local Vicar to come to Babington to conduct the service for you. Please talk with Rev Sue Greatorex before making any arrangements.
