Who’s Who…
Fr Richard Bastable – Vicar
Fr Richard has been vicar of St Luke’s since April 2013. Originally from the West Midlands, he studied theology at Exeter and Cambridge. He arrived at St Luke’s having served curacies in Ruislip and Holborn. Fr Richard enjoys music and travel. Augustine, Fr Richard’s cat, is a popular additional member of the parish.
Fr William Hamilton-Box – Assistant Curate
Fr William joined St Luke’s in June 2019 following his ordination as a deacon. Fr William is a keen musician and cricketer. He joins us following ordination training at St Stephen’s House, Oxford.
Silvia Diaz-Freedman – Parish Administrator
Silvia came to St Luke’s as our first Parish Administrator in living memory in October 2015. She has worked wonders to improve our organisation and administration! It is often Silvia who will respond to email or telephone enquiries – so we are very glad that she is also such a friendly person.
Miles Lallemant – Director of Music
Miles has been our Director of Music since February 2017. Miles was previously at St Matthew’s, Sinclair Road, and more recently at St John’s, Fulham. As well as being our Director of Music, Miles is also musical director for the Kensington Olympia Festival of Music and Art (KOFMA) so we are delighted at St Luke’s to become a venue for their rehearsals and for some of the events of the festival. Miles is also keen to continue the development of our musical life here at St Luke’s.
