Archdeacons
The Archdeacon of Chester- The Venerable Dr Michael Gilbertson
After ordination, I served as a curate in Southwark diocese, before moving back to Durham diocese, where I served for ten years as the Vicar of Stranton, a parish in inner urban Hartlepool, and was Area Dean of Hartlepool for most of that period. I am married to Jenny, a solicitor, and we have two sons, Matthew and Duncan. I am a keen jazz pianist, and enjoy listening to music, watching sport and cooking. It is a real privilege to return to minister in the diocese where I grew up. Address: Chester Diocesan Board of Finance, Church House, 5500 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Warrington WA4 4GE.
