The Vicar

Richard is the Vicar here at St Edward’s. He is married to Kayleigh, who is Assistant Curate at All Saint’s, New Eltham, and together they have two daughters and two cats. Richard is from Warrington in the North-West. His last role was as a Parish Priest in Cornwall, but he has lived in London for many years. Before ministry, Richard worked in online advertising, writing adverts for the Government Central Office of Information, and in law. Richard first visited the Eltham and Mottingham area in 2016 while working for the ‘Church of England Ministerial Experience Scheme’ in Lewisham; he also got to go on a memorable trip to Zimbabwe. Richard is very happy now to be back in the area alongside many familiar faces. His day off is Wednesday.
