Bob Matthews

Bob Matthews was the new vicar of Beckindale upon the exit of Edward Ruskin. Aged about 30, he was the village's first young vicar for a long time. At first, several villagers objected to a younger vicar but soon came round to the idea, especially when churchwarden Annie Sugden said that Matthews would make a great vicar.
In March 1976, Bob was mentioned by Will Croft when he said the vicar will not be happy if he lets his police dog Saxon roam freely around the church and grounds.
By February 1977, Matthews had been replaced by William Hockley as the village vicar.
