We have a new vicar!
The collation and installation of Revd Rosemary Donovan as Vicar of Melbourne Benefice (for the parishes of Melbourne, Smisby, Stanton by Bridge and Ticknall) took place last Sunday in Melbourne Parish Church.
Despite a dire weather forecast, it was a bright and sunny afternoon, adding to the joy of the occasion. Rosemary was warmly welcomed into her new post and was surrounded by family, friends and lots of members of her previous congregation who had made the long journey north to join us.
