Meet the Team
Team Rector
Tim Greenslade
Tim and Lucy moved to Maiden Newton in September 2016 after 17 years of ministry at St John’s Church, Weymouth. Much of our time was spent at St John’s but we were heavily involved with the life of the wider team of Radipole and Melcombe Regis. We also worked with colleagues across the denominations in Weymouth and Portland. Lucy teaches at Weymouth College, and we have three daughters in their twenties. We long for God’s people to grow in their love for and faith in the Lord Jesus and we seek to make the living Lord Jesus known to those who are uncertain who he is.

Team Vicar
Daniel Ingles
Following a variety of experiences, Daniel joined the team in October 2017 moving with his wife Jenna from the neighbouring Beaminster benefice where Daniel served his curacy. Daniel studied at Ridley College Cambridge, and has experience of different traditions, and is particularly interested in new monasticism and how ancient wisdom can help us in contemporary life, and rediscovering our place in creations beauty.
“I would like for people to encounter God through Jesus for themselves and explore questions of faith and life that we wrestle with together. “
Happy to talk he likes reading, cider and rides a triumph, though not at the same time!

Associate Priest
Linda Wilcock
Reverend Linda Wilcock was licenced as an Associate Priest to the Melbury Team in 2012, having served for many years as a Licenced Lay Minister and Curate. Linda said, “It a real privilege to be able to bring God’s word to our rural community. One of the joys is meeting so many people in the different parts of the Benefice and really getting to know them. I enjoy being a small part of people’s lives at the beginning, through thanksgiving, baptism, and a variety of services including marriage, and at the end, through funerals.
Licenced lay Minister
Paul Rendell
Paul Rendell has been a Reader/Licenced Lay Minister since 1993. He has lived, with his family, in the Melbury Benefice for 28 years, and works full time as a lawyer. Linda Wilcock and Paul are the longest serving staff members and have seen many changes. He is committed to sharing God’s Word by supporting and leading services within the team, and involvement in community activities. He enjoys exploring new ways of “doing church”.
