Meet The Current Chaplain
David lived in East Africa till he came to England at the age of 16. A gap year in Lausanne gave him a life-long love of Switzerland and the Swiss; he followed this by a getting a degree in French and German. He has retired as a Church of England vicar, but continues with some Diocesan work in Tanzania and Harare, as well as chaplaincy in the local hospice. He is keen on mountain-walking, skiing and photography, and enjoys meeting people
Cathie has recently retired from teaching and is enjoying her longest ever summer holiday! She loves spending time with grandchildren, family and friends, cooking meals to share. Walking, especially in beautiful scenery, is a special joy. In the local retirement home, Cathie helps to organise a monthly service and accompanies songs and hymns on the keyboard. At church, she runs a group to befriend and practise English with adults who have recently arrived in the UK.
