We are very blessed to have an excellent team of clergy and many other helpers.
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.
The clergy team is lead by Revd Craig Marshall, who lives in the vicarage in St Mary Bourne.
The post of part-time non-stipendiary assistant priest living at St Nicholas House in Longparish is currently vacant.
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.
