Welcome to our Trinity Student Placements
We are thrilled to be the context church this year for six Ordinands, who are all studying at Trinity College to be future vicars.
Julie, Si and Tom will each be responsible for oversight of two students. Welcome to Gael Browne, Katie Delamere and David Huggins, and welcome back to Hannah Blythe, Pete Oakley and James Wragg-Smith. You’ll be seeing them around about, especially on a Sunday, so please make them feel welcome!
