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. |

Born in Surrey, Nicky grew up in Hampshire and has spent most of her life there. After marrying Matt they moved to the New Forest and spent 30 years there, bringing up their two daughters Bethan and Katy.
After a career as a journalist, Nicky was ordained in 2014 and served locally as Associate Priest until 2020. She is delighted to now join The Axe Valley Mission Community. Nicky loves the rural life. The family have dogs, a cat, bees, chickens and sheep and like to grow their own fruit and vegetables. Nicky likes making jam and baking! The whole family are committed to living as sustainably as possible and believe it’s vital that everyone takes this seriously for the future of God’s world. Rant over… Nicky also loves going to the cinema and ‘wild’ swimming. Regular swimming in the sea will be a delight! If not in church you will most likely find her on the beach. |

Hello, I’m Tracey and in 2017 I started training and was ordained in September 2020.
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. |
