It is with much sadness that I have announced that we will be moving from Parwich in February – I have been asked to be priest in charge of three churches in the centre of Nottingham.
St. Mary’s is situated in the Lace Market; St. Peter’s is in the heart of the shopping area, next to Marks and Spencer’s, and All Saints is near to the Arboretum and to Trent University. Our years in Parwich have been wonderful in so many ways, but working in the heart of a major city will also offer some splendid opportunities.
I expect that we will leave Parwich in early February – my licensing service in Nottingham is on Sunday 22nd February at 3.00 pm. The process of finding a new vicar for Parwich will involve the drawing up of a profile of the group of five parishes, which will be put to possible applicants. This will be overseen by the bishop and his colleagues, but the main work on the profile needs to be done here.
At least it’s not too far from here – do come and visit! Details of the parish are at www.nottinghamchurches.org

Very sorry to hear you’re leaving, Christopher. Although not a regular church goer, I’ve sincerely enjoyed every sermon I have heard you preach. You have a remarkable ability to to captivate an audience, and always have something interesting and thought provoking to say.
Apart from your undoubted ability in the pulpit, you have been very visible and approachable in the village. You will leave a big hole when you go.
Congratulations on your new appointment. It’s true, our loss is Nottingham’s gain.
