THE new vicar of St James in Audlem has made an introduction ahead of taking up her new post.

Reverend Alison Fulford is not moving far, currently serving at the Benefice of Wrenbury, Baddiley and Burleydam.

She will take up her appointment at a date to be announced and says she is looking forward to meeting her new parishioners.

“I am really looking forward to being your new vicar and getting to know you,” she said.

“Just so you know a little bit about me here’s an introduction.

“I was brought up in a Christian family so have been to church all my life.

“After university, I carried on studying as I went to ‘vicar school’ at Ridley Hall, Cambridge.

“I have been fortunate to work in a number of churches over the years; in Norwich, Nottingham and surrounding countryside and here in lovely Cheshire.

“I am married to Ben and have two children. To relax, I like drinking coffee with friends, gardening, reading, having fun days out, knitting and Netflix.”
