Simon Tomkins - Vicar |
|
Benefice Administrator - Georgie Baldwin |
Simon has been vicar at St John’s, St Martin’s and St James since 2016, and is convinced this is the best job in the world. He’s married to Nikki, who is much nicer than he is. He enjoys taking part in sports that don’t require any hand-eye coordination. He is regularly surprised at how many children and how little hair he now has. |
|
Georgie has recently joined the team in October 2018 and loving her new position, especially the variety of work and the lovely parishioners.

Charles is married to Hazel and has been part of St John’s Church for 37 years. His working life was spent in the coal mines, and he enjoys reading (especially history) and watching all sports. |

Geoff attended Wood Lane Methodist Chapel from his teenage years, but was invited to St John’s and, as the service times were earlier, he couldn’t think of an excuse not to come to both! He has loved playing cricket for 3 local clubs, and has sung with choirs around Audley Parish for 20 years. |
