Who's Who

The Parish is led by our Priest - in - Charge:
Rev Anne Wilkins.

​

I was licensed to Sawley parish in October 2023, after having moved from North Somerset. This year (2025) I will celebrate 30 years of ordained ministry in various parishes. I enjoy leading worship and preaching, visiting, working with schools and with children and youth, and being involved in the community. In the past I have been a school governor, been involved in the healing ministry, been a vocations chaplain and assistant Area Dean. I am married to Chris Wilkins and we love living in Sawley and being part of St Mary's and All Saints'.

The work of the PCC is carried out by a range of teams; if you would like to contact any of the teams or feel called to use you gifts working with one of them please get in touch.

Pauline Porter: Churchwarden

I was born into a loving christian home and grew up in a village in North Staffordshire. We came to Long Eaton over 40 years ago when my husband moved to the area with his employment. I transferred to All Saints Sawley back in 2021, where we felt at home. I love the worship here, the people are friendly and helpful, the work they do to help others in the area is fantastic. It's a great place to be. I was elected churchwarden in 2023.

Rosemary Broadbent (Rosie): Reader

I have worshipped at All Saints and St. Mary's since 1995. I trained as a Reader and was Licensed in June 2005. I retired as a Practice Nurse in 2004. Shortly after retiring I became a Volunteer at Treetops Hospice something I really enjoyed.
I still have links with the hospice but spend more time assisting with pastoral care in the parish.
I am pleased and happy to be part of a thriving worshipping church, which cares for its members and the wider parish community.
