Religious ceremonies
451 places of worship in Essex are registered for marriage
A separate register, kept under a different Act, which is why they are not in the list above.
12 of the 451 are
also registered for same-sex marriage. Church of England and Church in Wales churches are on no
register at all — they never need to be.
