Rector:
Rev. J. Malcolm Acheson, M.A.
I was brought up on a fruit farm in Herefordshire, and studied classics and philosophy at Oxford University. After gaining some accountancy experience I managed the family farm for ten years, then trained for the ministry at Salisbury & Wells Theological College.
I was ordained at St Paul's Cathedral in 1985 and served as Assistant Curate of St Michael's Church, Highgate, North London for three years. Then I became Team Vicar of the Tisbury Team Ministry, south Wiltshire, with responsibility for the parishes of Hindon with Chicklade and Pertwood, Chilmark, and Fonthill Bishop with Berwick St Leonard. I have been Rector of Storrington since 1994.
I am married to Pauline, a former teacher at Lancing College, who now offers private tuition in French, Russian, piano, flute and singing. We have a son, Joseph, who is a composer, radio editor and occasional organist at St Mary's.
