Building Manager
Over some 25 years, John has held a number of roles in that time. As Parish Clerk, he looked after legal requirements for weddings, and for 20 years led Marriage Preparation for couples. He learned to ring bells to bring in the millennium and now leads bell ringing as Tower Captain, overseeing a major refurbishment to mechanisms in 2017. He currently leads worship regularly from the keyboard and previously from his 12 string guitar.
John is a PCC member and chairs the Legacy Project Committee, taking a lead on grant applications. He also took on the role of Building Manager in 2019.
John is married to churchwarden, Diane. They have three grown up married daughters, and five grandchildren. John enjoys travel and hill walking, possibly in ways too adventurous for most people.
