We were delighted to hear from Bishop Mark that a new vicar has been appointed to cover the parishes of Beltingham with Henshaw and Haltwhistle and Greenhead. Reverend Canon Stephen Wright is currently Priest in Charge of the Quidenham Group of seven parishes in South Norfolk. Stephen has previously served in Yorkshire and has spent many years abroad in Nigeria, Kuwait, Dubai and Sharjah. He and his wife Jo will be living in the Vicarage, Edens Lawn, Haltwhistle and are expected to arrive in March.

Stephen's installation will be on 31st March 2022. More information about this will be provided in due course.

We very much look forward to welcoming and supporting Stephen and his family as he begins his ministry in Northumberland.
