MARRIAGE AT ST BARNABAS
Banns of Marriage
If you live in the parish, St Barnabas’ Clapham Common, and are getting married elsewhere you may need us to call your banns. Please call the church office, 020 7223 6750, or email our Church Manager, Sandrine Simmons, with your enquiry: admin@stbcc.co.uk.
Banns are called on the basis of residency. To check which parish you live in, click here and enter your postcode in the box titled Find Your Local Church and make contact with the church office or vicar there.

We are running a preparation day on SATURDAY 02 JUNE 2018 at St Barnabas Church. Click here for details of the day and how to book yourselves on to it.
