Preacher: The Rev’d Michael Boag, Rector, Worth (St Nicholas), Pound Hill and Maidenbower
Royalty and flightpaths are common themes in the ministry of Fr Michael Boag; recently appointed to St Nicholas’ Worth, on the edge of Crawley and a few miles south of Gatwick. The unusually large church was built in a Royal Saxon hunting forest around 950 and is one of the oldest in continuous use. Before this he looked after the vast and remote parish of Upper Coquetdale, a Duchy of Lancaster living in Northumberland, and a favourite area for RAF low flying fast jet training. For eight years prior to that, he was Succentor and Dean’s Vicar of St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle (nr Heathrow).
