Mother Anna Stuttard

 

Mother Anna joined St Aldhelm's in 2020 just prior to the pandemic - a very interesting start to her ministry with us.

 

Before ordination Mthr Anna had a 20-year career in the voluntary sector, working for 15 years for Amnesty International before leading the international family support charity Home-Start Worldwide as their CEO. In 2014 she gained a Masters degree in Theology from Heythrop College, the University of London's specialist college for theology and philosophy, then went to Westcott House in Cambridge to study for ministry. Ordained in 2017, she served her curacy at Hornsey Parish Church in North London.

 

She is married to Andrew. Their older child Matilda is currently training to be a priest and their younger daughter Faye works for the NHS. Mthr Anna is a keen singer and has sung with orchestras and rock bands, in the Proms, on TV and movie soundtracks and at rock festivals. She currently sings with Crouch End Festival Chorus.

Mother Patricia Brown

​

Mother Patricia Brown was ordained in 2021 after studying at St Mellitus College in London. She had a varied career, working in the beauty industry, nursing and chaplaincy with homeless young people, among other things, and as a karate teacher - she has a black belt in karate, which might come in handy in ministry from time to time!
