Longparish Church Who's Who

St. Nicholas Longparish is part of a united benefice of 4 parishes, the others being St. Andrews Hurstbourne Priors, St. Peter St. Mary Bourne, and St. James Woodcott.

Canon Martin Coppen retired on 7th January 2013 after 24 years of faithful service as Rector of Longparish. Canon Michael St John Channell was appointed vicar as successor to Canon Martin, but sadly and unexpectedly died in February 2014. We are in the process of seeking a new incumbent for the benefice.

The Revd. Terry Hemming is part-time non-stipendiary, house-for-duty assistant priest, living in St. Nicholas House, Longparish.

The Revd. Dodie Marsden is part-time non-stipendiary assistant priest, working 2 days a week plus Sundays, from her home in St. Mary Bourne.

The Revd. Richard Sutcliffe works full-time in the City, but is available to take services and help out in the Benefice at weekends. He also lives in St. Mary Bourne.
