About Us
Ministry Team
Vicar: Rev Wendy Bull
Wendy joined St. Anne's and St. Peter's in April 2016 with Chris her husband, who is the Associate Archdeacon of Buckingham. They have three grown up married daughters. Wendy and Chris live in St. Peter's Vicarage, Micklefield. Wendy trained at Cuddesdon Theological College and was a curate in the Marlow team of churches . After school she trained as a nurse before becoming a 'mother and full time volunteer vicar's wife'. All of which was a great training for her present role!
Wendy's hobbies are enjoying the outdoors - which is why she cycles around the parish, runs for fun, swims regularly and enjoys walking. She also plays the violin, cello and the piano and has tried painting. She enjoys listening to and singing classical music, live performances when she can. She also loves stories, mostly through the medium of film but reading a Jane Austen novel is a great way to pass a day off.
Wendy became a follower of Jesus as a child. She learnt much from Sunday schools in Methodist and Baptist churches and was baptised and spent her teen years in a Brethren church. She joined the Church of England whilst training as a nurse in London. God called her onto the path towards ordination when Chris was training for ministry in Nottingham and the girls were small.
Licenced Lay Minister:
Barbara Prior
My name is Barbara Prior and I have been a Reader (Licensed Lay Minister) in the Church of England for the past 12 years. I was licensed in Christchurch Cathedral, Oxford
Today I lead services, preach, pray with and for people, conduct funerals and take Home Communion to those who are unable to come to Church services. I lead the craft group in St. Peter's and and I lead a Homegroup alongside others.
It is an honour to serve with Wendy our Vicar, our Churchwardens and PCC to introduce Christ to the Community of Wycombe Marsh and Micklefield.
Self Supporting Minister:
Tracey Jones joined St. Anne's on the 15th December 2024 to hep cover the vicar's sabbatical: She introduced herself thus:
In short …
TJ has a couple of life mottos – (1) “Make a difference” … (2) “Dignity at all times”
The reason behind these is - “God deserves my best.”
She values integrity, compassion, kindness and loyalty …
Loves being creative but is not at all artistic …
A bit more detail …
As a Navy-trained nurse, TJ worked for many years in Accident & Emergency and has seen
life in all its colour and chaos; caring for those in their first moments of life and their last.
She has lived in places as far-flung as Kiribati in the South Pacific, the Falklands in the South
Atlantic and Gibraltar (the most southerly tip of Europe)… Not to mention Cologne, Berlin and
Rheindahlen, in Germany
In 2014, TJ joined Stoke Poges Church as a “Ministry Trainee” while studying with Sarum
College, Salisbury and then Ripon College, Cuddesdon. Having served her Title Post in St
Michael & All Angels, Hughenden and St Mary’s, Wexham, she now joins us as Associate
focus, Self Supporting Minister (SSM = unpaid). Primarily to help during the vicar’s
sabbatical. TJ’s heart has always been for any who are struggling or who sometimes feel “on
the edge” of church life for whatever reason, whether young, older or somewhere in between.
TJ describes herself as fun-loving and adventurous but quiet in a noisy sort of way! She
values pilgrimage and prayer and walked the Camino de Santiago (500+ miles across Spain)
just after being ordained… so it probably won’t be hard to persuade her to go for a “walk ‘n’
talk” - Although, cookies and a cuppa are a good alternative on a rainy day!
Richard, Tracey’s husband, is on the PCC at Hazlemere Church where he plays keyboard for
worship and is Chair of the Mission Committee. Their two children are now “grown & flown”
and both work in performing arts. Ashley; as an actor in London with his wife Nicola and
Ruth; as a dance teacher in a VI form college in Oxford. Ashley is currently playing “Silly
Billy” in Jack & The Beanstalk. Meanwhile, Ruth took yet another group of dance students to
perform in shows at Disneyland, Paris.
TJ’s hobbies include …
Photography (mostly outdoors)
Church bellringing (mostly indoors)
Playing guitar (mostly in worship)
Kayaking (mostly on water)
Learning new sports (Squash and pickleball).
Taking ‘Vanessa’ (their micro-campervan) on excursions to hidden-gem campsites.
Blessed are those … whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. (Psalm 84:5)
Self supporting Minister (retired)
Elaine Carr
I’m married to Derrick; we have 4 children, 13 grandchildren, 1 great grandson and a ginger cat. I’ve been part of St. Anne’s and St. Peter’s church family for 15 of the last 22 years, and was ordained in 2002. We are Yorkshire exiles, coming here from York in 1988.
I’m a retired piano teacher who loves music (I play piano and recorder as well as singing). I like to think I’m fairly active, and enjoy riding my bicycle and walking. People are my passion. I love spending time with them and count it a huge privilege to be part of such a wonderful church family.
