Hello! I'm Patrick Davies, the priest of St Crispin’s. I originally trained for the priesthood at the College of the Resurrection, Mirfield. Before that I had a long career as a nurse in the NHS.

I was then a curate at St Elisabeth’s, Reddish, Stockport.

I have many interests, from supporting Arsenal to going for walks. It was my involvement with the charity GUCH which encouraged me in my desire to seek ordination. GUCH (Grown Up Congenital Heart Patients' Association www.guch.org.uk) has given me the opportunity to attend many European conferences to advance the needs of people with congenital heart defects.

The people who keep my feet firmly on the floor are my wife Anne and my children Rebekah, Rachelle and Jonathan. Without them life would be very dull.

Please contact me either via email at .

You may also call me on 0161 224 3452 from during parish hours.
