A new vicar has arrived in Harold Hill.

The Reverend Shaun Moore joined the parish last week in a ceremony at St George’s Church, Chippenham Road.

Born in Havering, Mr Moore said it was “like coming home” after previously working at churches in Leytonstone and Walthamstow.

The Rev Moore is also chaplain for Snaresbrook Crown Court.
