The Rev Wingfield Digby

Now deceased, he was the much respected former Vicar of Grunty Fen. His successor is:

The Rev Quentin Partridge

who is known by Dennis as ‘Stupid’. He is seldom seen in the parish because his flock fray his nerves

and he retreats to retreats. He is terrified of the bishop and of his wife who is an occult fortune teller.

The Feral Nuns

are the Sisters of Perpetual Availability who, after being ejected from their convent for immorality,

now roam the fen on Vespa scooters terrifying men and living off the land.

The Village Church

is looked after by Dennis as Verger and has Miss Edwards as organist.

Dennis maintains the organ and spends services at work in his Pump Cupboard.

A feature of the church is the brass memorial to a medieval knight known as Sir Hugh de Wosname

whose actual name has been worn away by Brasso.

The font is connected to some subterranean system whose gurgles foretell the weather.

The Grunty Fen Temple Bastion of Eternal Strength

and Perpetual Impregnable Citadel of Everlasting Endurance

Erected in 1923 as a global stronghold for a new world religion

which at one time claimed more than 17 members,

The Grunty Fen Temple Bastion of Eternal Strength

and Perpetual Impregnable Citadel of Everlasting Endurance

fell down shortly after construction.

Adrian

Dennis’s Guardian Angel.

Adrian was a railway worker until he crossed the line one day

to get a packet of fruit gums from the machine on the other platform and was hit by a passing express. Now he rides pillion on Dennis’s bike and offers advice.
