The team is led by the Rev. John Tallant who, before his arrival amongst us was vicar of an urban church in a fairly poor area of the city of Kingston upon Hull. He arrived amongst us in about November 2002. He and his wife must have found a big difference between those surroundings and the rurality of the area around Kirkburn. He is ably assisted by our lay-reader, Mrs. Ramona Holt, who has lived in Tibthorpe for many years. Kirkburn churchwardens also take services as and when required.
