In front of a packed congregation, the keys were handed to her by churchwarden Peter Melhuish. Rev Cowie also takes under her wing the churches at Exbury and East Boldre, and the chapel at Buckler’s Hard, all of which form part of the current wider Beaulieu bene ce. It is intended that all the churches will ultimately form a single parish of Beaulieu. e congregation included parishioners from all three churches, local dignitaries and a large contingent who had travelled from her previous multi-parish bene ce in the north Cotswolds. Rev Cowie who will move into the rectory with her husband and two young children, is the church’s 51st incumbent in its 495-year history. She conducted her rst services on Sunday 29th September.
