Jenny has lived in Eythorne for most of her life, having attended Eythorne and Elvington Primary School and Archers Court Secondary School. She studied Administration at Westmount College, Dover and has worked in Folkestone and Dover.
She is married to Tom and has two children and one much loved grandson.
During her childhood she attended the local Baptist Church and it was during the short time spent in Maxton that she became a worshipper at St Martins.
On moving back to Eythorne at St Peter and St Paul, Jenny found her vocation firstly as an Authorised Lay Minister then as a Reader being licensed in 2015. Jenny also has an important role in the parish overseeing the Safeguarding processes. |

Authorised Lay Minister |

Jan’s ‘home’ church is St Andrew’s Shepherdswell having lived in the village for over 40 years.
She worked for two local charities, ran a counselling, training and supervision practice and taught counselling at the University of Kent. Although mostly retired, Jan still very much enjoys the privilege of offering Spiritual Accompaniment. She has enjoyed being a link person with our friends in the Diocese of Antananarivo for over 30 years and is a contact point for pilgrims walking between Canterbury and Rome. Jan enjoys gardening, writing poetry, cooking and ‘generally creating stuff’ and most loves spending as much time as possible with her children and grandchildren. |
