The benefice of Combe St Nicholas with Wambrook was created in 1974 and was held by the vicar of Combe together with the benefice of Whitestaunton. Combe was then absorbed into the benefice of St. Mary’s, Chard, with the vicar, Revd Tony Woodward, being licensed in 2008 as "Priest in Charge" of Combe St Nicholas. Following his retirement the Revd Sue Tucker was similarly licensed in February 2010.

In 2010 the Revd Sue Tucker was appointed as the first incumbent of the new benefice of St Mary’s, Chard, Combe St Nicholas, Wambrook and Whitestaunton, their constituent parishes remaining distinct. Revd Tucker was licensed as priest in charge of Combe St. Nicholas.

 

Revd Val Hoare, who spent most of her curacy with St Mary's, is to be Associate Vicar when she is licensed in November 2010.
