Rev David Bowler
I am a Londoner, as
I was born in St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, in 1954, although I feel I have a lot
of Scottish blood in me as my grandparents (on my mother’s side) came from north of
the border. I grew up in Harrow and Wembley, and then we moved to East Sussex when I was
ten.
After a grammar school education I went to the University of Kent at Canterbury where I managed to obtain a BA(Hons) degree. I then came to the East Midlands, to St. John’s College, Nottingham, where I trained for the Church. I was ordained Deacon in Southwell Minster in 1978, and worked as a curate at Bramcote, Nottingham, from 1978 to 1982. I married Tracy, from Bramcote, during that time.
I then worked as Team Vicar in Kirby Muxloe/ Leicester Forest East, which is where our daughters Rebekah and Melanie were born, until January 1988. At that point we moved to Quorn, where we have been until now. At the time of writing, Tracy works as a Classroom Assistant at the Leicester Royal Infirmary School, and I have completed seventeen years working in Anglican-Methodist United Churches.
