The Rev. Canon Martin Seeley joined Westcott House as principal in September 2006. For the previous 10 years he had served as vicar of the Isle of Dogs, a large east London parish in the liberal catholic tradition. Prior to this, Seeley was a selection secretary and secretary for continuing ministerial education at the Advisory Board of Ministry. He served from 1980 to 1990 in the US, first as curate at the Church of the Epiphany in New York City and as assistant director of Trinity Institute at Trinity Wall Street, and then as director of the Thompson Center, an ecumenical continuing education center in St Louis. 

Seeley read geography and then theology at Jesus College, Cambridge, and then spent a year at Ripon College Cuddesdon, before being awarded the English Fellowship at Union Theological Seminary in New York where he studied social ethics. His interests currently concern the relationship between the eucharist, ethics and social ministry, and homiletics. He was installed as an Honorary Canon of Ely Cathedral in January 2008.
