My stuff

Much of my writing can be found on my blog – some of it in the form of notes and jottings

Many of my sermons are available on the Warbleton Church website and YouTube Channel

From The Rectory: monthly parish magazine articles (2011-) – latest edition PDF – and in Calemeo online e-reader . Worryingly these are sent to The British Library and preserved for ever!
