Jean Lindsay

Authorised Worship Assistant

Jean describes herself as a ‘Norfolk dumpling’ and most of her life has been spent in Clippesby; with her family, running firstly a horticultural nursery then an award-winning holiday park. She was humbled to receive the BEM in 2017 and the Royal Maundy the following year. She has a great love for her family and friends and enjoys sharing meals, reading, exploring the past, writing letters, singing mardling and her garden.

The Christian faith has always held a central place in Jean’s life. Jean says that, “the glorious beauty and complexity of God’s awesome creation and His Church at Clippesby is dear to me. God’s wonderful, faithful love for us, his creation, and my feeble love for Him is supremely important in my life and everything else flows from this.” Jean has until recently been a Church Warden at St. Peter’s Church in Clippesby for over fifty years and during this time has collected memorabilia and oral memories relating to this with a view to putting them into a book. Since stepping down as Church Warden, Jean has become an Authorised Worship Assistant so that she can continue serving in the ministry of the church.
