David Edgar & Roger Rogowski
Church Wardens
A Churchwarden is a lay official in a parish church. The holders of the positions are members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC).
The role of churchwarden is extremely varied. Between them Roger and David attend most services at St Martin’s and are always available to talk to parishioners about any concerns they might have.
You can also contact them should you require further support with any of the following:
grave reservations, reservation of a plot in the memorial garden, new headstone, memorial tablet, genealogy queries or requests to visit when the church is closed
Please contact Roger directly should you wish to hire the church for a concert, have a local history request, or a request to access the church archive.

Gloria Toplis
Musical Director
Music has always played a significant part in the life of St Martin's Church.
Our small group of choristers leads the worship each Sunday and we have one of the finest organs within our area. Owing to the building’s favourable acoustics, St Martin's is an ideal space for music-making of all kinds including use by choirs and instrumental groups from outside the church community
