NEW RECTOR WELCOMED

Jonathan Meyer was welcomed to Winchelsea and Icklesham as our new Rector on Shrove Tuesday 13th February 2018. The institution ceremony took place at St Thomas’ Church on a damp and blustery evening. Jonathan’s family and friends and former parishioners from Oxfordshire joined the congregations of Icklesham, Winchelsea Beach and Winchelsea together with members of the local community in a joyful service led by the Bishop of Chichester. Afterwards, there was a reception at St Thomas’ School with generous catering by Icklesham parish.  The ceremony concluded with the ceremonial ringing of the church bell.  Left to right: Jonathan Meyer; Paul Anderson; Edward Dowler, Archdeacon of Hastings.  Click here for the Winchelsea Parish Website
