Rosie Tallowin

Rosie has been Team Vicar of the Harwich Peninsula since September 2014. Rosie has been working with children and families for many years, mainly via connections through the church, working in schools and a variety of groups. The groups have included children and adults with different learning challenges, such as autism, which has resulted in Rosie being creative in the way that people explore the Christian faith and spiritual well-being. Rosie is married to Vic and has four grown-up sons, four daughters-in-law and five grandchildren.  Rosie has lots of hobbies but really enjoys being creative with knitting, crochet and sewing
