Our churches may be ancient, but we have a vision for future growth and progress, so we are looking for a Vicar to help us fulfil our hope for the future.

That is what the pupils at our Primary Schools said when asked about a new vicar. We are a new rural benefice of four villages, close to the county town of Taunton.

The role is the pastoral and spiritual care of some 30 residents in 24 self-contained flats within the grounds of the Hospital, which was founded in 1215, and has its own chapel with a daily act of worship. Applications are invited from priests of the Church of England with a proven record of pastoral and administrative experience.

St Paul’s is an active parish church about 30 miles west of London in a pleasant ‘commuter belt’ community. We are praying for a new leader who can move us from being a Welcoming Church to being an Inviting Church.

The Duke of Marlborough, The Rector and Fellows of Lincoln College Oxford and the Bishop of Oxford wish to appoint a Rector.
