Fr Tim Carroll
Vicar
I began my role as Vicar of St Peter De Beauvoir in March 2026. Before this, I served in a variety of Church of England communities across London, Yorkshire, and the Netherlands. I’m originally from Belfast, where I spent time working in youth and community settings.
I’m passionate about the Church being a place where strong relationships are nurtured—withian the congregation, with our neighbours, and with Christ—and about how these connections shape and enrich our lives together.
St Peter De Beauvoir is a diverse, creative, faithful, and inclusive community. We love welcoming new people from all backgrounds, so please do come and say hello.

I’ve studied architecture, vocal music education, conducting, and piano. I’m currently completing an MBA!”

Romee Day
Organist
“I’m Romee. I started coming to St Peter’s some 30 years ago and have been playing the organ for 25 years. I was a Parish Assistant and greatly enjoyed organising the Freedom Club weekly meetings for people old enough to have a Freedom Pass. Like me!”.

Debby Lawrence
Warm Welcome Steward
“Hi! I’m Debby and am one of the regular stewards for occasions in the church and crypt, and help lead our Warm Welcome project on a Wednesday. Outside of St Peters I might be seen walking my foster cat Sammy along Lawford Road on a harness : it’s a great way of getting to know my neighbours and chatting to passers by. I also run a business as a 1:1 Diet Consultant and help people (many local) reach a happier and healthier weight.”
Amanda Bart-Plange
PCC Member
“I’m Amanda and have been attending St Peter’s for 13 years and have been Pastoral Assistant for the last 7. I enjoy serving on the welcome team and administering Holy Communion. I am passionate about the well-being of people, especially the young and the elderly. St Peter’s has given me a lot in terms of spiritual growth, confident, support and enjoy the way of worship and interaction across the congregation.”
Florence Nwokoye
PCC member
“I am currently pursuing a Licence in Lay Ministry (LLM). I am a womanist theologian with a BA (Hons) and an MA in Theology. As a qualified theologian, I serve faithfully at St Peter’s Church, De Beauvoir Town, Hackney, where I have the opportunity to deepen both my academic and spiritual formation.
It is my calling to become a priest or an ordained lay minister, and I am committed to walking this path with integrity and purpose. In my personal time, I enjoy walking and reading.”
Vivette Ferguson
Pastoral Assistant
“I’m Vivette, one of St Peter’s Pastoral Assistants. I’m an organiser and can turn my hand to anything. I have a strong sense of culture and family (not necessarily in that order!). I’m open and like to tell it how it is. “
Alice Michaelides
PCC member
“I have been coming to St Peter’s for a couple of years and love the welcoming environment and sense of community here. One of many highlights of my St Peter’s experience so far has been the confirmation preparation programme I did last year. As a new member of the PCC, I have really enjoyed getting to know other members of the congregation better and being able to contribute to some of the great events going on at the church.”
