As Team Rector I have overall responsibility for the Fellside Team and work with Garry, Susan and Delphine to support the work of our parishes. Day to day I have responsibility for St Lawrence, Barton; St Eadmer, Bleasdale and St Mary, Goosnargh.

I'm also Ex-Officio Foundation Governor at Goosnargh Oliverson's School.

Once a member of the boat crew, these days I remain Chaplain of Fleetwood Lifeboat.

Identity ......

Baker, sailor, no candle-stick maker
copper, scientist, care-worker who's
been a priest, teacher, chaplain, now Rector
husband, dad, lifeboatman too!
What that makes me, I know not, do you?
