Charges

All orders are subject to a minimum charge of £5.00.

Please note: The charges shown below do not include postage.

Overseas orders must be paid for in pounds sterling.

Credit card payments are now accepted for payment from customers visiting us in person. We do not currently have a secure online payment system in place but we are able to accept credit card details by post, fax or telephone.

The office handling charge is rarely applied. It is intended only for orders which are especially difficult and slow to deal with, for example where we have to physically take apart a correspondence file to copy individual items within it.

Copying policy

All parish registers are available on microfiche. We are able to provide enquirers with entries from the registers for the microform charges listed above. Please note that we do not hold any original baptism, marriage or burial certificates within our archives; the charges for certificates listed above are for handwritten copies made by an archivist based on the parish register entries. The charges are set by the Church of England and the certificates are usually only used for administrative purposes.

Whilst visitors are most welcome to use the public photocopier to duplicate printed materials, all original documents must be photocopied by a trained member of our production team. Some original documents such as rolled plans, multi-membrane indentures and documents with hanging wax seals cannot be photocopied for conservation reasons.

If we are unable to photocopy an item for you, in most instances we are able to take digital images of the document and send it to you on a CD-ROM for a cost of £20 per hour. See our information on enquiries and research for more details.

Before we can produce your copies, please download and complete the Photocopy Order Form including the copyright declaration and return to the address on the form.
