Hi.  My name is Roger and I am the pastoral minister at High Bentham, Burton-in-Lonsdale Westhouse and Ingleton.

I went to theological college in Manchester in 1987.  Prior to feeling God's call to the ministry, I worked in industry, holding various management positions.  

Before coming to the Settle Circuit, I served as a minister in Durham and Preston.  I still have links with both of these areas as my son lives in Sunderland and my daughter in Preston.  I also have a grandson in Preston who, like all toddlers, enjoys emptying all the cupboards when visiting me! 

I come from the north-east and still support Darlington F.C.   I also enjoy train-spotting!
