Peter Frith

Peter Frith

Church Warden

Peter started coming to St John’s when he moved to Mansfield from London in the 1970’s. Although the church was in vacancy (ie had no vicar) at the time, he found people eager to follow Jesus. Through the ups and downs of life since then, this has continued to be the case. Living on Ladybrook estate, he is now church warden covering the St Mary’s part of the church on Ladybrook. Apart from responsibilities for the building and regular services, he is trying to help with reaching out into the community both young and old, through Ladybrook Lighthouse and Free To Be respectively.

Steph Cole

Steph Cole

Church Warden

Steph moved to Mansfield in 2018 for an active retirement. She thought what better way to keep herself busy then to volunteer as a Churchwarden. She is loving being at the heart of the life of the Church, she is really enjoying being involved with such a welcoming and dedicated worshipping community. Steph loves talking to new people so if you see her in Church she would love it if you went over say hello.
