The Clergy

Canon Marion de Quidt is the Rector for the Whitewater Benefice.  Marion has been in Whitewater since 2015, and loves our team ministry in the Benefice. She is also Area Dean of Odiham Deanery, and enthusiastic about nurturing vocations and training. In 2020 Marion was invited to join the College of Canons (to become an Honorary Canon) at Winchester Cathedral.  Marion trained as a scientist, and worked in the Pharmaceutical industry. A sermon about compassion of God, triggered a renewed search for the Lord's direction and lead to ordination training at STETS in Sarum College, Salisbury.  Marion lives with husband Simon in Hook Rectory. Her weekly day off is Tuesday.
