Who's who

Vicar - Vacant


Mthr Ann ClarridgeLicensed Assistant Curate - Mthr Ann Clarridge

I have not travelled very far being born and brought up in Greenford and now living in Ickenham.  I attended Holy Cross Church from the age of eight and apart from a brief spell attending Greenford Gospel Hall as a teenager, I have been a member of and attended, the Church of England.

On leaving school, I qualified as a Nurse and became a District Nurse working for Ealing Health Authority and then moved into teaching Nursing at London Southbank University.

I am married to Roy and we have three sons and four grandchildren plus a step grandson and one fostered granddaughter and her three children, making us great grandparents!

I was Ordained in 2004 and since then served my Title at St Michael and St George, White City and three subsequent posts as Assistant Curate at St Augustine: Whitton, Holy Trinity: Northwood and St Laurence: Cowley.  

My title of SSM means that I am a Self Supporting Minister – I do not receive a stipend for the work I do having already had a full working career in Nursing.

Hobbies: time spent with the family; not really a hobby more a delight and a joy, time spent in the garden; again not really a hobby more a time of delight and a joy.  Roy is very into Athletics – a onetime cross country coach and so we both enjoy running or perhaps I should say, jogging more these days.  I trained as a Spiritual guide which means accompanying people on their spiritual journey of faith and when Covid restrictions are lifted will continue my classes in Sacred dance – these also bring me delight and joy.

I am delighted to be given the opportunity to join Fr Michael and Shanti in the ministry at St Paul, Ruislip Manor and look forward to getting to know you all.

I have been a regular worshipper at St Paul's since 1978, having just met my wife Ann who had been coming to the Church from her young days.  We were married here, have 3 children (now adults!) who were all baptised here too.

This truly is a welcoming and caring church, from Father Michael right through the congregation, so if you are looking for a place of sanctuary or to broaden your spiritual horizons, then St Paul's will suit you down to the ground.  Both Nicky and I look forward to seeing you.

Having spent my childhood in Hertfordshire, I moved to Ruislip in 1981 when I married Paul.  After raising our 3 children, I joined a local school as Exams Officer where I remained until 2021 when I retired. This coincided with me leaving St. Mary’s and coming to St. Paul’s as I felt that I needed to restore my faith. From the first Sunday I walked into this church I felt welcomed and at home.

Over many years I have been involved in girlguiding and now enjoy spending time with our extended family of 5 grandchildren and also singing in a local a cappella group.

 I look forward to supporting both the clergy and people of the parish.
