Message from the Churchwarden
We are unfortunately once again in an interregnum situation and I will try to keep everyone up to date as best as I can but I do not think that we will be getting a replacement for Fr. Trevor Marshall after his departure in May 2024 to St. Nicholas church in Middleton-on Sea in the short term.
We are, very fortunately being supported at this time by some very loyal retired clergy for which we are all extremely grateful.
Best wishes
