WHO WE ARE
Reflect. Connect. Grow.
St Margaret’s is a haven of peace in bustling Putney. A space to reflect and meet God. To connect with others, celebrate life and find support when we need it most. To grow strong bonds with our local community and make positive change.
THR REVD DR BRUTUS GREEN
VICAR
I was ordained 14 years ago after completing degrees at Exeter and Cambridge, including a doctorate on Theology and Storytelling. I spent five years as Curate and Associate Vicar at St John’s, Hyde Park, a thriving diverse church in central London, where I also oversaw a successful Heritage Lottery Fund bid. Ready for a change, I spent the next four years as a British Army Chaplain, completing courses at the RMA Sandhurst and later “P-Company”. I served in Germany with the RLC, then Colchester with 2PARA, finishing at Pirbright, in the Army Training Centre for new recruits. I began at St Margaret’s, Putney in November 2018 and was made vicar in early 2020. I love music, sports, literature and the great outdoors, am married to opera singer Rhiannon Llewellyn, with two sons, Oberon and Apollo and a faithful greyhound, Zz.
