Who’s who

Rector: Revd Philip Howson

Philip has been Rector of the Benefice since July 2019.  Most recently he moved from Nottinghamshire where he served a mix of rural and mining communities.   He is married to Imogen and has two grown-up children, two dogs and one cat.  Consequently the hoover is generally rammed with animal hair!

He loves to share in the ministry of preaching, welcomes invitations to tea and is keen to invite you to belong and contribute to your church.

Benefice Administration

Melanie Tindale helps with the administrative tasks involved in the smooth running of the benefice, in the hope that Philip can spend more time ministering and less time on admin.

Melanie is be the point of contact for arranging weddings and funerals, and coordinating service rotas, diaries and meetings across the benefice, plus any other admin tasks that need some attention.
