The Silly Vicar in Market Drayton, United Kingdom

Read my blog

I am a vicar in the Church of England based in Market Drayton Shropshire. I grew up in the post industrial wastelands of south wales.

Studied Biology at university and got a proper job in Cambridge working on Genetics of diabetes. If you are really bored you can read one of the papers I worked on.

Packed in proper work in 2002 to train for priesthood with the monks at college of the resurrection. Worked in Blackpool, Chorley and now Market Drayton as a Priest. I like Metal music and have indoctrinated my son into Iron Maiden

When I told my Dad I was packing in work to be a vicar he said that is a silly thing to do as there was no money in it. So I am a silly Vicar.
