Ministers
Our lead minister is called a rector, which is a different name for vicar or priest. Our rector looks after the people in the benefice and leads the congregations of the churches. Our other ministers include retired clergy, but there are a number of other ministerial roles that our benefice also has.
Jamie Fox
Jamie Fox started as the rector of the benefice in mid-February 2025. With his previous role at The Minster in Taunton, Jamie has not moved far and he knows the local area well. Jamie is married with three children and he is excited about working across our benefice.
Rev Hugh Allen
Hugh is married to Helen and has five (grown up) children. He is now retired from stipendiary ministry but works “behind the scenes”: mentoring, offering spiritual direction, and occasionally taking a service. He has led groups on trips to Israel and retreats in the past. He enjoys coffee and conversation, better with cake! He also writes poems and short stories, and enjoy “topless motoring”!
Rev Sue Green
Sue moved to Wiveliscombe in 1988 and was a member of the congregation for some time before being ordained in the mid 90s. She moved away fro ten years to be Rector of the nearby Blackdown Benefice, but on retirement chose to return to the centre of the universe. Sue is now happily helping out as needed within the benefice, and spends the rest of her time making fabrics and growing vegetables.
