Toby Wright who is Team Vicar of Witney, Oxfordshire & Hon. Canon of Christ Church, Oxford) - but I am surprised that TIm Parsons is moving on quite so soon as it sounds like he has done well at St. Edmundsbury. One clue as to what might have lured TP's return to the west country perhaps comes from the website of SEC which quotes the Dean of St. Edmundsbury as saying that "it will be lovely for them to be closer to their families". The website of SEC says that TIm Parsons will be there until Sunday 01st September so Wells will have to wait a few months yet. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice too that Canon James Milne, the Precentor, is moving to York Minster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't imagine they will have any difficulty in attracting applicants for such positions in such a glorious building (not mentioning the organs) and with such a great DoM. 2024 looks like it will be a merry-go-round of organ benches.

It’s nice when a Director of Music is greatly missed - shows that ability and personal quality can be a wonderful combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
