Simon, who lives in Clifton House in King's Lynn, has been a
regular member of All Saints' Church since taking up
residence in the town over two years ago. Last year, Simon
was appointed to the Parochial Church Council.
The Rector of All Saints', Fr. Paul, mindful of Simon's
expertise and knowledge, with regard to restoration and
conservation work, invited him to accept the position as the
church are on the threshold of an important phase of
re-ordering and restoration. He accepted the invitation and
the appointment was unanimously agreed at the recent meeting
of the church council.
In spite of his commitments as the full-time
Chief Executive of English Heritage,
Simon has already raised a considerable amount of money
towards the restoration appeal and opens his spectacular
18th Century Lynn home, with its medieval tower, to raise
money for the church. In March 2007, All Saints' was
featured in a lecture which Simon gave to the Royal
Geographical Society - one instance of the many occasions
used to draw attention to a church and tradition of faith
and spirituality which holds tremendous meaning and
significance for him. |
