Mr Adrian Stephenson

We cherished the support of Robert as Vicar of Comberton, through marriage, baptisms and through our early family life. It was amazing. Our daughter, Rev Amy, is now enjoying her role in Lancashire, both in Chaplaincy at Westmoreland and Lancaster Hospitals, and in her own Church life in St Thomas', Lancaster.

Robert welcomed us when we arrived in Comberton and enabled our children to grow in faith through the choir and the Sunday School in the stable block.
