Twickenham's Holy Trinity Church has welcomed a new vicar.

The Church welcomed Reverend Simon Couper, formerly Vicar of St Paul's, New Beckenham and inducted and collated him as Vicar of Holy Trinity Church Twickenham Green at a special service on the evening of Tuesday, October 17th.

The church, which was originally built in 1841 for the growing Strawberry Hill population, sits at the heart of the parish with two services each Sunday, a Sunday School and community facilities.
