BUTCHER. The Revd Heather Butcher, Priest-in-Charge of Litcham with Kempston, East and West Lexham, Mileham, Beeston-Next-Mileham, Stanfield, Tittleshall and Godwick, of Gressenhall with Longham with Wendling and Bittering Parva, of Great and Little Dunham and Great and Little Fransham, of Rougham and Weasenham in Wellingham, Rougham and Weasenham, Team Rector Designate in the proposed Launditch and Upper Nar Team Ministry, Bishop’s Adviser for Women’s Ministry, and Hon. Canon of Norwich Cathedral, now also Priest-in-Charge of Wellingham, in Wellingham, Rougham and Weasenham (Norwich).
I knew the Church of England boasted that it had "a Christian presence in every community." I just didn't realise that the presence referred to was Revd Heather Butcher. Thank goodness Godwick is an abandoned village.
Somewhere the ghost of Betjemann considers writing a poem about the situation. And gives up, exhausted.

Well spotted, I remember seeing another announcement concerning a similarly 'blessed' cleric, but it was much shorter than that one. Also I was thrilled to see mention of my old friend, John Carr in the announcement below, as I lost touch with the family years ago when we moved in opposite directions from Harrogate.
