Married vicar, 69, ‘moves nurse lover into the marital home with his WIFE and mother during lockdown’

  • The Rev. Bob Wiltshire, 69, split from his wife Sue after 40 years of marriage

  • Rev. Wiltshire would make no comment when asked about the allegations 

A married vicar from Shropshire is spending lockdown ‘living with his girlfriend, wife and his mother,’ it is claimed.

The Rev. Bob Wiltshire, 69, split from his wife and mother-of-three Sue, eighteen months ago, after 40 years of marriage, to live with married nurse and fellow mother-of-three Lucy Baker.  

However, Rev. Wiltshire, who is a grandfather-of-ten, is said to have persuaded his wife to let him and Ms Baker move into an annexe in the £450,000 detached three-bed home, he once shared with wife Sue.

‘He thought he would be able to get his wife and mum out of the house but they refused,’ a friend told The Sun.

‘When lockdown hit and he had nowhere to go, he moved his mum out of the annexe so he and Lucy could have it. ‘  

The Rev. Wiltshire joined the church in 2018 and is serving an interim role.

The Diocese of Lichfield said they would be discussing the allegations with Rev. Wiltshire (pictured Holy Trinity Church in Hadley where the Rev. Wiltshire serves)
