A VICAR has had to get used to being booed since moving to his new parish.

It's not that Marc Wolverson's parishioners in High Lane, Cheshire, are an unruly bunch. But he took part in the church pantomime and was cast as Demon Discontent.

Marc, who took over at St Thomas' Church last year after moving from Bramhall, quickly excelled at the evil laugh that was his stage trademark.

"It was a real change of role for me," said Marc. "Often people get the idea of the Church being traditional and stuffy - but having fun is important."
