Clair is active in our Church through Children Work, Refreshments and Church Prayers. Home live is busy with full time work, two adult male children and enjoys socialising with friends.
Peter Butcher Property Steward		Peter and Jane moved to Buckingham, from Sussex, in June 2003, with their three young boys. They soon found a welcome at Well Street Church for both them and their very boisterous children! Through the years they have seen changes in venue, times of services and worship style but the basis of being a welcoming church family has remained. Both of them have served over the years in various areas of church life. In 2023 Peter took on the role of Property Steward for the Well Street United Church building – a responsibility which is certainly keeping him occupied. Jane has just (in 2025) stood down after serving two terms as elder. Now they have left full time paid employment behind them, Peter and Jane love to get out and about as much as possible, making use of their caravan and visiting their sons in Leeds and Brighton.
