Priory priest on move
7:20pm Tuesday 26th January 2010 in
Reverend Canon Hugh Williams of the Priory Church, Christchurch, is returning to where his ministry began in central London, to become Preacher of the Charterhouse, a historic school as well as taking the role of deputy master.
The reverend arrived at the Priory in 1993. He said: “I’ll miss Christchurch and its people. It’s been a marvellous place to live in and for my family to grow up.
“But it’s difficult too because although people are supportive, they have also been upset.”
Mr Williams leaves on April 26.

I trust he is taking the stone effigy of himself with him?

I’ll miss seeing your cheery face around town Hugh.
May your God be with you at Charterhouse. (which surely is in Sussex???)

us. He brought me back to the Church, he christened my daughter and my grandaughter, and he married my daughter and her husband (though not necessarily in that order!!!!!).
Father Hugh's wish to move on must be respected, and I wish him 'God Speed' on his future journey in life. May the Holy Spirit be with him. I hope the powers that be appoint a vicar even half as good as he is.
Thank you, Father.
