Help with quitting churchwarden?

I need some advice. I was talked into being churchwarden for a tiny church a couple of years ago. I love the church but the congregation is very tiny (3-6 people?). I don't mind cleaning the church and filling in grant application forms etc. But the other church warden is abrasive and bossy and I have had enough. I get 'shushed' at the PCC meetings and told I can't phone people etc. She is very information is power. And yet when it comes to fundraising events I seem to be left doing everything... She has fallen out with the lady who was churchwarden before me and unfortunately has said she wont take it back from me because she cant work with this woman. The vicar is soon to retire and I am trying to not burden him with it. I have not signed up to attend a visitation. The rest of the PCC are not interested...

What do I do? I have told the vicar and other churchwarden I don't want to continue. Should I tell the other churchwarden why? She has also peed off other people at the PCC meetings... My husband says I should just tell her but she's obviously not going to be happy about it and then it could be a mixed blessing if she were to quit. (TBH the lady I took over from is also no angel...)... arrggg

My mum was a church warden and says that this woman appears to have a history of bullying behaviour, and that you do need to have a chat with the vicar. It's the only way it can be stopped. Other wise it will just carry on.
