Reverend Hugh Patterson

After providing ministry to this parish for 46 years (since 1974) the Rev Hugh Patterson retired at the end of 2020. The PCC are extremely grateful to Hugh for his selfless service to this church for so many years.  The congregation will miss Hugh who has undertaken regular weekly services without fail. He has been an integral part of local family life and true to his beliefs he has undertaken baptisms, weddings and funerals as well as regular services as a non-stipendiary minister with very little reward. He has brought wisdom and humour to the PCC.  It is a testament to his leadership that this isolated, rural church has maintained its historic character and continues to provide a focal point for the community. The PCC wishes Hugh and Elizabeth a happy retirement and look forward to his involvement in church life for many years to come. Team clergy will provide ongoing ministry to the parish.
