St Helen's Grindleford
Welcome to St Helen's Grindleford
Following an interview process in early June, the appointment of a new rector has been announced for our Benefice. Our previous rector, Paul Moore, took early retirement on health grounds last October. The new incumbent, Revd Carolyn Cooke (who is moving to the Hope Valley from Geneva) will take up her position later in the year. We look forward to welcoming her.
