Elizabeth L’Estrange



Elizabeth is our Head Altar Server and has been for about the last six years. At the moment she looks after a team of 6 servers. Our serving team in the past has been much larger but over the last few years many of our teenage servers have had to leave the parish to go to University. We have the largest Sunday Club in the deanery and Elizabeth hopes that many of them will join the serving team when they are older. Elizabeth is responsible for training servers and is always focused on recruitment.


She has been part of the parish since she was two and a half, joining the children's choir at six and becoming an Altar server at thirteen.


Elizabeth is also a member of the Parochial Church Council, the PCC social sub-committee and is secretary of the PCC fabric sub-committee.


She is married to the Rector, Fr Timothy, and lives in the Rectory with him and their large family of Guinea pigs.
