Our Vicar,
Revd. John Hayward
John
joined St Mary's in April 2008 after being the Vicar of St
Martin’s, Gospel Oak in North London for 12 years. For just over two
years, he combined this post with that of Area Dean of South
Camden. He started
his working life in the hospitality industry, including periods of time
in hotel management.
John underwent theological training at Lincoln
Theological College and was ordained in 1990. He served as an
Assistant
Curate in Seaford, East Sussex and subsequently in Kings Cross,
combining the latter post with that of Team Coordinator of a Mental
Health Centre Trust based at his parish. He then moved to St
Martin’s.
John lists among his spare time pursuits comedy impersonation
and sketch writing.
