Margaret Fowler

Margaret was born in Germany where her father was in the British Army. Her early years were spent in Dover and Canterbury, and finally the family settled in Romford where she went to Junior and Senior school. She met her husband Malcolm at school, and soon after their marriage they moved to Billericay where they have lived since 1970.  They have four children and seven grandchildren.  Margaret’s husband died in 2020.

After the birth of her twin girls Margaret set up the Billericay Twins Club in 1977 to support parents of twins and multiple births. The Twins Club Nursery Group still meets in the Christ Church halls on a Monday morning.

Margaret has been a member of Christ Church, Billericay for almost 50 years and was licensed as a Reader in 2008. In 2009 she was invited, as part of the Diocesan Schools Link programme, to visit Ciamanda Primary School in Embu, Kenya.  Christ Church has maintained this link working together on education and water projects since that time.  Margaret has visited Kenya every year since 2009, except during Covid. Margaret retired from a City Law firm in 2014 after she was ordained as a Priest in the Church of England. She was made Focal Minister for Christ Church within the Billericay & Little Burstead Team Ministry soon after her Ordination, and has overseen ministry there since that time.
