New Priest-in-Charge for Stanford in the Vale, Goosey and Hatford
A new priest-in-charge for the parish of Stanford in the
Vale, Goosey and Hatford has been appointed to succeed
Revd. Michael Wenham, who left the parish in January
this year.
The Revd. Dr. Tim Rose is at present working in a parish
in Surrey. He and his family will arrive in Stanford in the
Vale during the summer holidays and will start work here
in September.
Dr Rose has been ordained for nearly eight years and has
served in two very different parishes in Newcastle and
Surrey, interspersed with two years as an Anglican
Chaplain in London University. He has degrees in
Theology and in the History of Philosophy; he has tutored
for Cardiff University and the Open Theological College
and worked for a year as a support worker for the National
Society for Epilepsy.
He trained for ministry at Wycliffe Hall Oxford and was
brought up in Oxford Diocese, so in many ways he feels
that their move here marks a coming home for them.
He is married to Sarah and they have three daughters:
Emily is aged seven, Lucy, five, and Abigail, three.
Sarah is a Speech and Language Therapist and used to
work with children with autism in a special needs unit of a
mainstream school. She is currently taking 'time out' to
raise the girls.
Tim says: "We are all really looking forward to joining you
in Stanford in the Vale, Goosey and Hatford ..."
