Meet the new Rector and his family

15 November 2022

The Garrett Family

Tim, Nat, Jemima and Tabitha greatly look forward to moving to join you in Bishop’s Cleeve, Southam, Woolstone, Gotherington and Oxenton early in 2023 – it’s an exciting new chapter for us as a family!


After 10 years of working in NHS management, Tim has over 20 years’ experience of parish ministry – including city life, rural life and most recently 13 years in Twickenham.


Tim and Nat met in Oxford where Tim was serving his curacy and Nat was training for ordination. When we were first married, we served together in a rural benefice based in the villages around Burford and used to come to Cheltenham on our day off. We are so pleased to be coming back to the beauty of the Cotswolds.


Nat works with Bishop Graham Tomlin at the Centre for Cultural Witness, based at Lambeth Palace but is also keen to join the mission and ministry across the Benefice.


We both love seeing people’s lives transformed by the Gospel and helping people grow in their walk with Jesus Christ.

As a family, we love watching Strictly Come Dancing together, playing board games and going for walks. Jemima (13) and Tabitha (11) are especially excited about the move because it means (at last) we’ll be getting a dog!


We look forward to sharing life and getting to know you very soon.



With love and prayers, Tim, Nat, Jemima and Tabitha
