Two local curates who are serving in the Wimborne Minster and The Wimborne villages benefice have been ordained priests in Salisbury Cathedral by the Bishop of Salisbury the Rt Rev Nicholas Holtam.

The Rev Nick Wells and the Rev Sharon Boyle were two of 14 deacons who were ordained priests by the Bishop just a week before he retires after ten years as the Bishop of Salisbury.

The Rev Nick Wells is married to the Rev Ruth Wells, who is the senior chaplain at the Bournemouth University and the Arts University Bournemouth.
