I remember listening to my mother in laws mother... she said that no woman ever went out of the door after giving birth untill she had 'been churched'.... This was in London the east end by the way 18/1900s..... Do you think this meant....getting the new child christened? Gerri. |

Hi Gerri There was a thread on about this a while back on General. If you type in churched into the text search it'll bring it up. Christine |

If you have access to a Book of Common Prayer (1662), there is a service in it called "The Churching of Women", as I recall. Christine |
