2. The ancient parish churches were the original places for the publication of banns and solemnisation of marriages;[215] but the churches of new ecclesiastical parishes now stand upon the same footing in that respect as those of ancient parishes; and where a portion of an ancient parish has been formed into a new ecclesiastical parish, residents in the new parish are not deemed for those purposes to be within the old parish.[216] Moreover, if, besides the church, there is a public chapel in a parish, and the bishop thinks it necessary so to do for the convenience of the inhabitants, he may grant a licence, with such qualifications as he may deem fit, for banns and marriages in the chapel, in the case of residence within a district specified in the licence; subject to an appeal on the part of either patron or incumbent to the archbishop of the province, who may confirm, revoke, or vary the licence. But the licence will not preclude residents in the district from having their banns published and marriages solemnised in the parish church, if they prefer this course.[217] In the case of parishes having no parish church in which Divine service is usually performed every Sunday, and in the case of extra-parochial places, the church or chapel of an adjoining parish or chapel may be resorted to for banns and marriages.[218] But the bishop may license for banns and marriages in extra-parochial places and chapelries any church or chapel situate within their limits.[219] Where the church of a parish is pulled down or disused for Divine service owing to being rebuilt or repaired, the publication of banns and solemnisation of marriages may take place in any building within the parish licensed by the bishop for the performance of Divine service during the rebuilding or repair of the church, or if there is no such building, then in the church of an adjoining parish; or, if there is a consecrated chapel within the parish, the bishop may direct that they shall take place within that chapel, and may, with the consent of the incumbent, give directions respecting the fees. Licences for marriages in the church of the parish are to be construed as licences for marriages in the building, church, or chapel in which they may be temporarily solemnised.[220] Where a church has been rebuilt, repaired, or enlarged, and the position of the Holy Table altered, the validity of marriages and other ceremonies is not affected by the fact, if such is the case, of there having been no re-consecration.[221]
