The Reverend Claire Towns
VICARClaire has been Vicar of Swanmore since July 2012, having completed her curacy in Nottingham, at St John’s, Beeston. She did her first degree in the late 1980s in Portsmouth and her first ‘proper’ job was in Traffic Management for Fareham Borough Council, so her move to Hampshire in 2012 was a return to familiar ground. Before ordination in 2007, Claire had spent several years working for the NHS, in mental health services, latterly as a Team Leader in a community-based Personality Disorder Treatment service. Claire believes passionately in inclusivity and a church that welcomes all.
