Our People

At present we are in an interregnum, our Rector having retired, and we are in the process of finding a new incumbent for the benefice.

Our Associate Minister, who has special responsibility for Salford Priors, is Rev Sheila Bridge who lives in the Vicarage in Salford Priors.

We have one Lay Reader, Allan Steven who lives in Stratford upon Avon.

We are very fortunate to have the support of five retired clergy living in the area who are able to help taking our regular services as well as some weddings and funerals.

There is a Ministry Team at St Matthew's in Salford Priors who support Sheila Bridge with the ministry there.
