Who’s Who
Rev Hannah Allen is our Priest-in-Charge.
Hannah moved to the village with her husband Craig and daughters Izzy and Beth following training at Ripon College Cuddesdon.
Before training, she was employed by a local charitable trust working alongside those with an interest in making the county a place where everyone can flourish, especially those living on the margins of society.”
Hannah writes: "It is a huge joy and privilege to serve as Priest-in-Charge in the Benefice of Bourton-on-the Water with Clapton and The Rissingtons. I very much look forward to journeying onwards with you as God leads us as parishes and a Benefice into the next season. With love, thanks and prayers for all that has gone before with you in this place and in anticipation of all that is to come, Hannah"
Retired Clergy
We are blessed to have a number of retired clergy & their families living & working amongst us. Rev David Cook and Rev Brian Chave join us for worship the most often - sometimes in the pew and sometimes at the front!
We are also pleased that Rev Christopher Etherton & Rev John Ovenden are also helping out even more now that we are without an Associate Minister… watch this space!
Rev Jon Barwood
Bishop Rachel, in consultation with Archdeacon Katrina, Craig, Dana and parish reps, has agreed to appoint Rev’d Jon Barwood as Interim Team Vicar working in the Vale and Cotswold Edge Team Ministry from 1st October for a 12 month period. Jon will be working in the Team (mainly in the northern group of parishes) four and a half days a week.
Jon says of his appointment…
“I am really looking forward to joining the team in the VaCE and for the opportunity to minister to the different communities in the north of the benefice. My family and I are very much enjoying our new life in the North Cotswolds and are excited by what God’s got in store for this next chapter of our lives”
The Parochial Church Council are the elected people who make the big decisions about our church. We are many and varied and meet every month in church. If you are on the electoral roll of the church, you are eligible to stand for PCC.
