Who’s Who
Rev Nina Summerfield joined us as Associate Priest in the Benefice in December 2020. She previously ministered in Lydney, in the Forest of Dean, and now has a special responsibility for the Rissington Churches.
Nina lives in Upper Rissington with husband Clive and her family.
Rev Hannah Allen is currently our Assistant Curate and as of 10th June 2025 we are thrilled that she will become our new 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 that, (subject to HR), I will be serving as Priest-in-Charge in the Benefice of Bourton-on-the Water with Clapton and The Rissingtons, beginning with my licensing on 10th June. 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 also help out from time to time.
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.
