The Reverend Peter Timms is the vicar of Greendale Church and also organises special events in the village of Greendale.
Biography
Since becoming the vicar of Greendale, the Reverend Timms has been one of the village biggest helping hands and one always of wisdom.
As well as doing most of the sermons at church on Sundays, the Reverend, along with the help of other Greendale residents, also organises special events like Jumble Sales, Grand Openings and the Great Greendale Race and often has the honour to present prizes to winners of competitions.
The Reverend Timms has lately become a rather skilled violinist, though not always in the past, so he gave his violin to the Recycling Week Jumble Sale. However when parted from it, he felt that he missed his violin so much that he decided to buy it back and suddenly started playing such a lovely sound that he never knew he could make.
Like so many other famous vicars, the Reverend Timms is also very keen on railway engines and was very pleased to be able to ride on the footplate of the Greendale Rocket one day. However after a little accident with the levers, the Reverend decided it was best to stand well back and leave them Ajay Bains.
When the "You're the One" auditions came to Greendale, the Reverend was one of the judges along side Dorothy Thompson and Simon Cowbell.
Personality
The Reverend Timms is very kind vicar who takes his position in the Church very seriously and often makes quotations from the bible to help people when they are facing difficulties. The Reverend can sometimes be a little forgetful and accident prone, but as he does so much good work in the parish, he is pleased to know that his friends are always willing to help him too.
Job
As his title suggests, The Reverend Peter Timms is a clergyman who works as a vicar of Greendale Church. He also owns a sister chapel at High Thwaites.
Attire
When he is not doing church services, the Reverend Timms is often seen going round Greendale wearing a grey jacket, grey trousers and a clerical collar. He once wore a cream straw hat.
Vehicles
Although the Reverend Timms usually prefers walking around Greendale to any mode of transport any day, he does sometimes his bicycle on the odd occasion. He admitted to having a car once.

Trivia
- As the Reverend Timms now has poor eye sight, he wears glasses.
- From Postman Pat and the Greendale Rocket, he speaks in a much softer tone
- At Longleat Safari Park's Postman Pat Village, there was a model of the Reverend Timms conducting the choir in the church.
- His Morris Minor car appeared in the book "Ted Glen's New Year Promises".
- He is shown to be quiet skilled at music, as he can play instruments like the piano and violin.
- In the book Postman Pat's Story Box (published 1995) it is said that his real name is Charlie and heavily implied that he is around the same age as Pat and Ted. However, John Cunliffe's original paperwork for the BBC and most subsequent character bios claim that his real name is Peter and give his age as 61 years old - meaning that he is 26 years older than both Pat and Ted, who are 35.
