We have appointed a new Vicar who will be joining us in July! Rev Jane Ball will be moving to Masham in July and will be starting on Wednesday 26th July at a big service at 7pm in St Mary’sMasham. More details later. Jane comes to us with a wealth of experience – as a teacher, as a curate in Bedale, a school chaplain in Salisbury and seven years as the vicar of a multi-church benefice in Hampshire, including time as an Area Dean. Her current post is as a boarding school chaplain. She is excited about returning north to rural parish ministry.
We are sad to hear about the imminent closure of the Staveley Arms and wish Maggie and Dave and their team all the best in their new venture at the Angel in Topcliffe. We look forward to the Staveley reopening under new management – and maybe incorporating a coffee shop and a village store. We await further details!
