I am an Anglican priest, ordained in 2002 and served my Curacy and then a few years as a Rector in the Diocese of Chichester. I moved to the west country in January 2010 to take a post as full time chaplain to Dorothy House Hospice near Bath. I am therefore relatively new to this area of ministry. I lead a team which includes an assistant chaplain and four very committed and skilled volunteers, without whom I would be tearing my hair out (see picture).


I enjoy reading pretty much anything by Robert Harris, John Grisham and Thomas Harris. Originally from the edge of the Peak District, I love the hills and walking and like the idea of golf.
