Rotherfield and Mark Cross are situated in East Sussex’s High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The villages are close to Tunbridge Wells, with good transport links to London, and within easy reach of the South Downs and the English Channel.

We are two welcoming and friendly churches: St Peter’s Chertsey is at the heart of its town, central to its life. Holy Trinity, Lyne and Longcross is a traditional village church with its own parish and Church Primary school.

This is an exciting role focused on deepening relationships with God as two churches of differing traditions come together in collaborative mission across boundaries.  

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced priest with keen pastoral gifts, strategic leadership capabilities, and a ministry of enabling others, to shape an emerging benefice and take up a commission as Rural Dean.
