Jeremy Hugh Winston (20 May 1954 – 21 November 2011) was an Anglican priest. He served as vicar of Abergavenny from 1993 until 2011, and briefly as Dean of Monmouth during 2011.[1]

Early life[]

Winston was born in 1954 in Middlesex but moved, with his mother and brother, on the premature death of his father, to the family home in Griffithstown.[2] He was educated at Griffithstown Primary School and Croesyceiliog Grammar School, where he became Head Boy, and then went as a music scholar to Trinity College, Carmarthen. He graduated with a B.Ed. and trained to be a teacher. He taught for a while in Llanelli Grammar School before turning to the priesthood. He studied at King's College London and at St Stephen's House, Oxford.[3]

Clerical career[]

He was ordained in 1980.[4] After a curacy at St Basil, Bassaleg he was vicar of St Arvans with Penterry (Chepstow),[5] before being appointed vicar of Abergavenny in 1993. He was appointed Area Dean of Abergavenny in 2002, and in the same year a canon of St Woolos Cathedral; and in 2011, shortly before his death, he was installed as Dean of Monmouth. He was also a director of the Friends of Friendless Churches.[6]

Winston had been due to start treatment for a brain tumour on the day he died.[7]
