Rev’d Kelvin Price
Rector

Kelvin was appointed Rector of Ludlow in June 2016; prior to his appointment since 2014 he was Team Vicar in the Ludlow Team Ministry with responsibility for the parishes in the Ashford’s Group, as well as playing a role within the Team Ministry as a whole.

Kelvin was ordained in 2010 following a career in the army; he was born in 1978 and raised in Sutton Coldfield. After leaving school, he completed a four year electrical engineering apprenticeship and then for a short while was a senior personal fitness instructor. He served as a Non-Commissioned Officer with the Royal Green Jackets and it was during this time as a soldier that his calling to ministry and the Church was searched out. After being accepted by the Church of England to start training for the priesthood, he studied at the University of Oxford, and successfully completed his degree of Bachelor of Theology in June 2010. He was ordained Deacon in Hereford Cathedral in the July and took his place as Curate in the Cleobury Mortimer Benefice. Apart from loving his ministry to God and the Church of England, Kelvin loves to watch and play sports – primarily golf and football – but spends much of his spare time with his wife Ruth and their six children.

Rev’d Prebendary Ann Barge
Assistant Priest

Preb. Barge trained on the Southwark Ordination Course whilst working at Christian Aid Headquarters in Waterloo. She was licensed at All Saints, Hereford before moving to the Ludlow Team.

Much of her ministry is on the fringes of the Church and as a member of the Council for Social Responsibility she is involved with working groups on drugs, events for World AIDS Day and has links with the Mental Health Team and the Terence Higgins Trust.

Ann enjoys music, reading, watching “Eastenders”, knitting and walking with her husband, Ian, and being entertained by her crazy rescue dog, Lucky.

The chaplaincy team provides pastoral support for anyone visiting the church during the week.

The sessions normally run from 11am to 3pm most days. Prayers are said on the hour.

Currently we have twelve members both clergy and lay, all of them volunteers.
