HELLO vicar: A big welcome was given to The Reverend Richard John St Clair Harlow by the people of St Paul’s, St Peter’s, St Mary’s, St Luke’s, Pamber Heath, and St Mary’s, Silchester.

Richard’s institution and induction was conducted by The Venerable Michael Harley, Archdeacon of Winchester.

Richard is married to Kayla and they have four children.

As it was said at the service, it will take a long time to get to know so many new names and if you meet them perhaps in another area of the town, you might forget their names – well Richard, join the club it happens to me a lot. Welcome.
