Marriage 1662

This is one of a series of videos intended primarily for as training aids for clergy and others on how to conduct services according to the Book of Common Prayer (1662) in the Church of England. Please see also the ‘Narrated’ version of the same service, which includes a voiceover giving suggestions as to how the service might be used in practice, with common variations.

This video presents the original 1662 version of the service for the Solemnization of Matrimony. We also have demonstration videos for the alternative ‘Series 1’ form (very close to 1928). Both versions are authorized for use in the Church of England.

The video was recorded at St James’s, Sussex Gardens (Paddington), in London.
