The List of Vicars (centre and left in the photograph) hangs on the west wall of the nave beside the west door. It covers the period 1302 to the present day. Our last incumbent, Rev. Deirdre West, retired in 2017 and we currently have a Vacancy.
The Parishes of Parham and Hacheston were consolidated on August 29th 1753.
Notes:
Alexander Hubbald (1675) and John Carter (1703) both served as vicars of Parham as well as at the same time serving in Hacheston.
Samuel Tompson died in 1739. John Sparrow was appointed in the same year, then, when Hacheston was consolidated with Parham in 1753, Sparrow was re-appointed to the new benefice, so Sparrow was appointed twice.
A printable copy of the List of Vicars (pdf format) is available.
