Following fifteen years as minister at Markyate Baptist Church, Dawn moved to Burnham on Sea in April 2015, with her husband Graham, to develop a retreat house ministry.      The vision was for their home, Tillington House, to become a safe haven for people to reconnect with God away from the everyday responsibilities of life and ministry.

Dawn has two grown up children and one grandchild.  She enjoys walking on the beach, watching box-sets on TV and drinking in the artistry of a good flat white
