Hello! We are really excited to be moving to Stannington and joining you at Christ Church! I am married to Emily (we met at Trinity College Bristol where Emily was a student and I was a vicar student)- and despite being southern softies (I’m from Kent, and Emily is from Hampshire) we are also ‘adopted Yorkshirefolk’! Emily has lived in Leeds for 7 years, and I also lived in Leeds prior to my vicar training, since going to university there. We have Dora (6), Zebedee (4) and Jethro (2). Zebedee will happily tell you how old his parents are!! Dora is very sociable, Zebedee likes brass instruments, and Jethro is into motorbikes…I have been Associate Vicar at St Matts Leeds for four years, and before that did my curacy at St James Woodside in north Leeds. I’m into music, languages, being outside, and doing a little bit of bread baking and beer brewing.
Christ Church building will be open during the day every day with space for memory and prayers for the life of Queen Elizabeth II and the new King, Charles III. There will be a memorial book where you can write thoughts, memory’s and prayers for Elizabeth II, her family, nation and commonwealth.
