Chapel Marriages

Orginally published Jun 2021
Last updated Aug 2021

Liz James, daughter of Michael Hebditch, Chapel Secretary and Organist for many years, completed the formidable task of transcribing many of the historical documents relating to the church into digital form. The Winsham Web Museum is very grateful to the Chapel for allowing these archives to be reproduced.

The marriage records that have been digitalised are from 1856-1926.

The groom's details are listed before the brides in the table below. After 1922-01-05 the remaining marriages are written on one sheet of paper, officiating minister was William Williams which included much less detail than the previous records.
