We are delighted to announce that we will have a new vicar with us from August 2026.
We had some excellent candidates to choose from but after a great deal of prayer and a comprehensive interview process the appointment has been offered and accepted by
The Rev Charlotte (Charlie) Lloyd-Evans
Charlie was ordained in 2017 in the Anglican Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf with St Andrew’s Church Abu Dhabi
She returned to the UK in 2020 and was appointed to be Priest in Charge of St Mary Greenhithe and St Peter and St Paul in Swanscombe. In addition, in 2024 she was appointed as Area Dean of the Swanscombe Deanery.
Charlie is married to Gareth with three daughters in their 20s” one of whom, Megan is still living at home with them.
Charlie wrote in her application “I personally enjoy and value a wide range of worship styles and discovered a beauty and depth that continues to feed my faith and worship”
This was one of the features that encouraged her to apply to Hughenden.
In her CV she wrote of her faith “ I am fundamentally motivated by a desire to see others come into a relationship with Jesus Christ and to know the love and freedom of that relationship. For me this ongoing relationship is fuelled by an active personal and corporate life of prayer and worship, centred around the word of God as revealed in Scripture.
Charlie also has had great involvement with her local community being a school governor, the chair of a local charity and involvement with other local organisations and chaplain to the town mayors. She also encouraged a strong vison process and her earlier years career as an engineer and project manager helped to achieve a major project for one of her churches.
I am sure you will join with us in sending Charlie our sincere greetings following this announcement.
Frank Hawkins and Andrew Cole
