Holidays on the Northumberland coast inspired Reverend Christian Mitchell to become the new vicar of Alnwick, after first visiting the town in 2016.
The reverend, who prefers to be called Mitch, has visited Alnwick a lot as it is the place where his wife Vicky grew up, and he has become quite accustomed to it.
As he visited the town more frequently, Mitch found himself feeling very much at home, and upon learning of a vacancy in the town last year he got in touch.
