Towards the end of his life he took vows as a member of the monastic Society of the Sacred Mission. Early life and educationNestor was born at Halifax, West Yorkshire on 6 October 1938. He did his high schooling at the grammar school in Halifax and went from there to Exeter College, Oxford, where he studied theology. He completed his training for the priesthood at The Queen's College, Birmingham. Clerical workIn 1965 he was a curate at Woodkirk for three years, after which he spent four more years in that capacity at Forton, Hampshire. In 1972 he went to Africa where he was chaplain at the universities of Botswana, Lesotho{{sfn|Lapsley|Karakashian|2012|pp=69,81}}{{sfn|Hincks|2009|p=791}} and Swaziland in the period between 1972 and 1979. From 1974 onwards Nestor trained new priests in Lesotho, serving as Warden of Roma Anglican Seminary, Lesotho. Episcopal ministryNestor was elected as a suffragan bishop of Lesotho in 1979. He was well-loved in Lesotho, in part because of his gentle pastoral manner. Lesotho is a very mountainous country and many of the mission stations and settlements he served were accessible only on horseback, causing him to travel great distances in that manner. Nestor became fluent in Sesotho and offered encouragement and hope to his parishioners through his teaching. People of all races and faiths welcomed him wherever he went. His work was completed in southern Africa in 1992 and he returned to England, where the Bishop of Blackburn invited him to become vicar of Bretherton and to act as an assistant bishop in that diocese. He served as the diocesan ecumenical officer, using his experience of working with African churches to good effect. In 2001 Nestor joined the monastic Society of the Sacred Mission in Durham, where he also acted as an assistant bishop in the Durham Diocese. Notes and references{{refbegin}}
