Edward Pogmore
Associate Priest
I worked ten years in parish ministry as a Curate and then as a Team Vicar on a new housing estate in Poole in the Salisbury Diocese where we built a new church in bricks and people. I have, for the last 30 years, specialised as a Health Care Chaplain.
As Chaplaincy Team leader at the George Eliot Hospital at Nuneaton I worked within the Health Service. Also, I was Hospice Chaplain and later served as Chairman of the Mary Ann Evans Hospice and now as a Patron. Since retirement from the NHS in 2014 I have worked developing Chaplaincy with the Abbeyfield Society who have sheltered housing and care homes throughout the UK. As a Canon Emeritus of Coventry Cathedral I served on the Cathedral Council from 2000-2024.
Mary Tynan
Associate Minister
Mary is a Lay Minister in the Parish. She is licensed to preach, lead services and to take funerals. Recently, she has started to lead the Messy Church sessions which take place once a month at St. Catherine’s Church in Burbage. Other responsibilities include being the Safeguarding Coordinator for the Parish and being part of the Finance and General Purposes Committee. She has a heart for worship of God through music and for relaxed fellowship with others. Her main hobbies are knitting, ‘Silver Swans’ ballet, travel and singing in St. Catherine’s Church Choir and with ’Accord’. She is a retired Secondary Mathematics Teacher who still enjoys doing hard sums! Since retirement, there has been more time for her church involvement and the training she did to become an Associate Minister. Mary lives in Burbage with her husband Jim – her children have all grown up and flown the nest, but there are now 10 grandchildren to keep her active.
