Clergy

Paul Wilkinson is the Priest in Charge of St Peter's. Ruth Fitter is the Assistant Curate. The Ministry Team also includes our four Licensed Readers, Roger, Melissa and Mary and we enjoy the assistance and help of a retired priest, Paul Dack.

Parochial Church Council

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) exists to help and support the Rector and Churchwardens in running the Church, and is legally accountable for the annual Parish report. Members include the clergy, readers, churchwardens, parish Synod representatives, plus members elected at the annual Parish Meeting. The PCC meets every 2 or 3 months, with a small standing committee (comprising rector and PCC officers) dealing with minor or routine matters between meetings.
