Accepted answer

No, not in "any Christian denomination" in the U.K. Only in some Christian denominations. For example:

Anglican Church (Church of England) who have female priests and bishops

Church of Scotland

Episcopal Church

The first woman to be ordained as a minister in the Church of Scotland was the Revd Catherine McConnachie by the Presbytery of Aberdeen in 1969. (Sources below)

However, there are many U.K. Christian denominations who do not ordain women to the priesthood, or even to any role where they have authority over men.
