Team Rector - Bentham
Canon Peter Greenwood
Team Vicar - Ingleton and Chapel-le-Dale
Our team vicar for Ingleton and Chapel-le-Dale is The Rev'd Nick Trenholme.
Nick was born in Cambridge but grew up mostly near Bradford (so he counts himself as a Yorkshireman!). He went to university in Durham before working as in youth ministry in Northampton. He trained for the ministry in London, and was curate in Northamptonshire before moving to Ingleton in 2016. He is married with two children.
Team Vicar - Burton in Lonsdale and Thornton in Lonsdale
Our team vicar for Burton in Lonsdale and Thornton in Lonsdale is The Rev'd Harriet Johnson. Harriet was officially licensed on the 1st of October 2024. Below is her introductory bio in her own words.
"It was a surprise and a delight to discover that God was calling me to a new stage in my journey as a member of the Ingleborough Ministry Team and I am very much looking forward to getting to know the people and churches of Burton in Lonsdale and Thornton in Lonsdale as we discern together what God has in store for us.
Although I currently live in London I was born and grew up in Yorkshire (near Wakefield) and have family roots there and in the Lune valley. As a child I attended a Methodist chapel, but on moving to London for a career in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office I was drawn to the Anglican church, initially through the beauty of cathedral choral evensong and then through the welcome of my local parish church. Being called to ordained ministry in this church in 2017 was another of God’s surprises, but has proved an enriching experience: firstly in discovering the joy of studying theology (yes, really!), then learning the ropes of parish ministry in a semi-rural curacy in Rochester Diocese, and most recently in the role of chaplain at my theological college, where I have had the privilege of seeing at first hand the variety of ways God calls and equips people for both lay and ordained ministry.
My husband Simon is a civil servant and adult instructor with the Army Cadet Force where he is a qualified mountain leader and Duke of Edinburgh Assessor. Because of these commitments he will initially be dividing his time between London and Yorkshire.
When we do both have time off we very much enjoy walking together and have completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks twice, so we are looking forward to getting to know some of the other walks in the area (and maybe even making a third attempt at the big one!)."
Lay Ministers
