| David
Reindorp became Vicar of Chelsea Old Church in January 2006.
David's grandfather was Vicar of St. Simon Zelotes, Chelsea
and his father grew up in Chelsea, so although he was born
in Westminster Children's Hospital, where his father was Vicar
of St. Stephen's, Rochester Row, he feels he has come home.
David
started his working life in Chelsea. Prior to Ordination in
1983, David had a variety of jobs, a broker at Lloyds in the
City, a male model (it was a long time ago!), delivering newspapers,
and a social worker.
David
has served in a variety of parishes, a big council housing
estate, a market town, two country villages and an urban parish.
David, prior to coming to London, was Rural Dean of Cambridge
and remains an Honorary Canon of Ely Cathedral.
David's
interests are in broadcasting; his T.V. appearances have been
‘Lads Army', ‘Lads Army II' and ‘Bad Lads Army', ‘That'll
reach ‘em', and ‘Wakey, Wakey'; he is Chaplain to the Honourable
Artillery Company, the oldest territorial regiment in the
British Army and to the Worshipful Company of Fan Makers.
David
is married to Suzy (whom he met in Chelsea!). She was editorial
assistant at House & Garden Magazine and an editor at
the Harvill Press, a subsidiary of William Collins. She now
is a counsellor and psychotherapist.
David
and Suzy have three children, Thomas, Lavinia and Christopher
and their black Labrador, Milly.
