Vicar - TICEHURST and FLIMWELL

Introduction

Incumbent of Ticehurst and Flimwell

Ticehurst and Flimwell (combined pop. 3,800; combined ER 151) are two attractive villages within easy reach of Tunbridge Wells and the south coast.  Predominantly rural, they have a broad demographic, with a varied and colourful local life.  

St Mary’s, Ticehurst (Grade 2*; USA 80) occupies a central position in the thriving village where the vicarage is also situated.  St Augustine’s, Flimwell (Grade 2; USA 15) offers twice monthly Sunday worship.  In 2022, St Mary’s was given the EcoChurch gold award.

Our faithful, supportive and enthusiastic congregations seek an energetic incumbent of open evangelical tradition to provide spiritual leadership to address the challenges of growth and age profile, and to inspire further progress in achieving our ambitious environmental goals.
