Vicar – we don’t currently have a vicar as Revd Bridget Shepherd is now Archdeacon for Wandsworth and moved away from the parish at the beginning of May 2025. We hope to recruit a new vicar soon. Meanwhile we’re in a vacancy and in the very capable hands of our Assistant Curate and two Churchwardens. You can find out more about our search for a new vicar here.
