The Revd Jeffrey Terry – Associate Priest

Born and raised in the north west, Jeffrey studied and practiced law in London before returning north, practising as Arbitrator, Mediator and Barrister nationally but primarily from his chambers in Manchester. In 2010 Jeffrey and his wife, Susan, bought and renovated their ancient house just outside in Trethevy, believed to have been a small medieval monastery occupied by the monks of St Piran, where they now live with their border collie, Bess. Sue and Jeffrey have two adult daughters, Sarah and Anna.
Ms Claire Salzmann
Claire is licensed to our Benefice as a Reader in the Church of England, which means she is trained and authorised as a lay leader to take services, preach and do pastoral work at the direction of the Rector. Claire regularly takes services around our Benefice churches and has a special ministry of bereavement care and funerals. Formerly House Manager at the University of Greenwich, London, now living in Delabole she can often be seen exercising her black lab, Boaz and is also enjoying learning the saxophone.

Sue is also a Church of England Reader. A retired teacher, Sue’s speciality is working with children: she can often be found in our Open the Book teams presenting Bible stories in two of our primary schools and taking her puppets, Annie and Spike into Pre-schools to tell of God’s love. Sue also leads special services and Messy Church from time to time and is leader of a weekly Home Group: Together. Papillion Zanna is part of the family. (Sue is currently unwell and unable to minister to us at the moment.)
