Who's Who - Meet the Team

Rev'd Clive Sedgewick
Team Rector

Originally from the East Midlands, I went into teaching and was fortunate to work for many years as a primary school teacher and headteacher, then as a schools adviser and Director of Education in the Church of England in Bradford, Leeds and North Yorkshire.
 
Ordained in 2004 after training in the Oxford Diocese, I left my role in education in December 2013 to work in parish ministry in the wonderful Yorkshire villages of Bardsey and East Keswick before moving to the team here in March 2017.
 
I am married to Andrea with two grown up children, Felicity and Peter.

Rev'd Mary Harding
Associate Priest

I retired from parish ministry in the Shaftesbury Team and moved to Axminster in 2013.  I chose Axminster so that I would be nearer my sons, my siblings and the sea.  What a good move.
So here I am.  I have been a wife and am now a widow.  I have three children and six grandchildren.  I have a lifetime of nursing experience, mostly in elderly care and on the District, and at last answered a long-held call to ministry with ordination in 2000.
I bring all that past life experience, good and sometimes not so good, into the present, and look forward to whatever lies ahead, with my God-given Maryness and energy.

Rev'd Cate Edmonds
Associate Priest and Rural Dean of Honiton Deanery. 
 
Cate was born in Plymouth but has spent much of her life in different parts of the country, returning to the West Country for full-time ministry in 1999. She was ordained in 1995 whilst a teacher in Hampshire, during that time she has been a Chaplain, Parish Priest,  member of the Diocesan Education Team and Prebendary (Honary Canon) of Exeter Cathedral. Cate was appointed Rural Dean for the Honiton Deanery in 2019. She lives in Lyme Regis with husband Paul and their 2 dogs. They have 2 grown up children.

Where is Melanesia? And why did Cate spend three weeks there in the summer of 2018? Read her story here.

Tracey Voysey
Ordinand in Training

Hello, I’m Tracey and in 2017 I started training for ordination.
I have lived with my parents, then husband and children, in the Axe Valley all my life.  I am passionate about enabling people to meet God where they are, not just in church. So if you see me around the Mission Community, or in Church do come and say hello.
