Rev Mark Phillips
My name is Reverend Mark I am the vicar for the Benefice of Watchet and Williton.
I have been a vicar for the last 10 years, before that I worked for over 20 years in the care and education sector. My last role before I became a vicar was supporting children who were struggling for many different reasons to remain in mainstream education. I have also worked with children and adults with learning and physical disabilities.
My wife and I are really enjoying living here. We have found that the people are open and friendly. We have a dog called Hector and are busily exploring all the beautiful places in West Somerset.
