Dean Sarah and the Chapter are delighted to announce that, subject to the usual checks, the successor to The Reverend Prebendary Pam Row, who served as our Cathedral Chaplain from 2015 to 2024, is to be The Reverend Dr Belinda Stanley, who is presently serving as the curate of Carlisle Cathedral, and who will become our Cathedral Pastor.

The Reverend Dr Belinda Stanley

In the first instance, this will be a three-year appointment, and Dr Stanley will have oversight of the cathedral’s pastoral ministry, which will greatly strengthen our current provision. 

Before ordination Dr Stanley was a doctor who worked in a number of roles both in the NHS and in the charity sector. We look forward very much to welcoming Belinda into our cathedral community in the early autumn, and we will publish details of her licensing as soon as they are available.
