Priest in charge - Rev Rich Townend
I'm Rev'd Rich Townend and am thrilled to be the new Priest in Charge of Felton and Longframlington with Brinkburn, Whittingham with Edlingham and Bolton Chapel. I'm married to Emma, and we have three children. We've spent most of our married life living in villages to the south of York, before spending our most recent years in Durham and Bridlington. I've enjoyed almost three fantastic years in Bridlington, being part of a community-focused, growing church. I couldn't have asked for a better training experience and am excited for the next chapter.
It's great to be here in Northumberland.
In faith, hope and love, Rev Rich
