Mark Howard Francis Beach (born 1962) is a priest of the Church of England. He was the Dean of Rochester Cathedral from 2012 to January 2015.[1]

Early life and education

Beach grew up in Staffordshire.[2] He studied theology at the University of Kent for his BA degree in 1980[3] and completed an MA degree in mission and ministry studies at Nottingham University in 1995.[3] At King's College London he completed a University of London doctorate in ministry (DMin) in 2011.[3][1]

Ordained ministry

Beach trained for ordained ministry at St Stephen's House from 1985 to 1987.[3] His curacy was at Hucknall Torkard in the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. He then moved to the parish of Gedling, a few miles away in the same diocese, as rector from 1993 to 2001.[1] He was the bishop's chaplain in the Diocese of Wakefield from 2001 to 2003 before going to Rugby, Warwickshire, as a team rector.[1] He left Rugby in 2012 to take up the appointment of Dean of Rochester.[1][4] In January 2015 it was announced that he had resigned from this position because of issues regarding his marriage break-up.[5]

Post resignation

In late January the Bishop of Rochester announced that "[Beach] is taking on a new role outside ordained ministry, and has been appointed to the post of director of the Blackfriars Settlement."[6]
