The two churchwardens are members of the Parochial Church Council. In this parish, each churchwarden is expected to continue in office for five years but must be reappointed every year at the Annual Meeting of Parishioners, by the parishioners, whether on the electoral roll or not. They are also ex-officio members of the Standing Committee.

Churchwardens also have a duty to make sure that the clergy can conduct their Services and other meetings without hindrance. This requires that any visitors or newcomers are welcomed and assisted, that there is adequate seating, proper lighting and heating, and that all other facilities required are in place, including safety requirements. As members of other parish committees and groups, churchwardens are often able to offer advice and assistance. Each churchwarden will have her or his own particular areas of knowledge and interests; between them they should not only fulfil their formal duties but also deal with unexpected problems and add to the general wellbeing of the parish.
