Jane Mainwaring named as next Bishop of Hertford

Although Jane has spent much of her ministry in the Diocese of St Albans – as Archdeacon, a parish priest, and a rural dean – she served her curacy in Suffolk having trained for ministry on the East Anglia Ministerial Training Course. 

Having grown up in London and Essex, Jane studied Theology and Religious Studies at Leeds University. She has worked for the Diocese of Southwark’s retreat centre (while volunteering in a large church youth group in Surrey), and for the YWCA in Coventry, helping young adults move on from emergency accommodation.
