I taught English and was Senior Housemistress at Epsom College, a large coeducational day and boarding school in Surrey before becoming a priest. I am currently Team Vicar of Totnes (with seven parishes and nine churches) and I am the Rural Dean of Totnes and Interfaith Adviser for the Diocese of Exeter.
I am particularly drawn to monastic wisdom and contemplative prayer, relishing opportunities to engage with people, who would describe themselves as spiritual rather than religious. I delight in discovering the sacred in the ordinary. I am re-created by singing with Devonly Voices Community Choir, walking the coast path, Pilates, reading and relaxing with family and friends.

As the Team Curate, I’m here to serve and to continue to learn how to be a vicar on the job. I’m married to Hannah and we’re loving being in the countryside after moving from Exeter to Dartington.
I like hiking, reading, many forms of games and quizzes, and engaging in lively discussion! I enjoy singing and am particularly fond of Christmas carols. My hope for our churches is that all members will encourage one another in the God-given gifts they have, and the part they have to play, and that through this we would be an even more transformative presence in our communities as we share the love of God that we’ve found in Jesus."
We are delighted to say that St John Baptist, Marldon church will be OPEN for weekly services at 10 am and for private prayer on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays, Thursdays from 10-4 am from now on. Please follow the guidance and keep safe.
