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 ..."

The Anchor

Stanford in the Vale is thought to be named after a stone ford in the area. It may have been a crossing of the River Ock, some say where the bridge now spans the river before Stanford Mill, however others speculate it was actually a crossing of Frogmore Brook.
