Rector of St Mary the Virgin, Rev David Prothero, will be leaving Bathwick this year.

He writes in the Bathwick Parish News that he will give his last service at St Mary’s on 6th May, and will move out of the Rectory shortly after. However, he is not moving far, he will become the Chaplain of St Mary Magdalen on Holloway. A new parish priest for Bathwick is likely to be appointed in 2013.

Nicholas Coombes and David Martin thank Rev Prothero for his years of service to our community and wish him well in the future.
