Early life and education
[edit]Payne was born in St John's Wood, London on 12 October 1931. He attended Sherborne School, an independent boarding school in Dorset,[2] before completing national service with the Durham Light Infantry in Egypt.[3] In 1951, he proceeded to Clare College, Cambridge, where he completed a B.A. in 1954 and M.A. in 1961 in the natural sciences.[4]
Payne spent three years as a biology master at Mill Hill School and Marlborough College. In 1958, he began work at Lee Abbey, Devon, and promptly trained for ordination at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, graduating with a B.A. (Hons) in 1960.[5]
Ordained ministry
[edit]Payne was ordained as a deacon in 1962 at Christ Church, Oxford by Harry Carpenter, Bishop of Oxford, and as a priest in 1963 at Guildford Cathedral by George Reindorp, Bishop of Guildford.[1] He began his career as a curate at Great Faringdon from 1962 to 1963 and Christ Church, Guildford from 1963 to 1966. In 1966, he was appointed to two rectorships: Shackleford and Peper Harow,[6] which he left in 1973 to accept the rectorship of Odell[7] and vicarship of Pavenham.[8]
In 1978, Payne left Odell and Pavenham and was given the post of Warden of the Divine Healing Mission.[Note 1] In 1984, he left the Divine Healing Mission and was given the rectorship of Wraxall, Somerset. He retired to Cambridge in 1992.[9]
