Jack was a residentiary canon for 20 years and loved this place. He had a deep knowledge of its history and was a passionate speaker about it. The Cathedral community is very sorry to learn of his death.

He died doing what he loved, walking in Scotland.

Before coming to Peterborough Jack was rector for 5 years of Stoke Bruerne, Grafton Regis and Alderton in the diocese. He was also rural dean of Towcester.

We have been in touch with his family to give them our deepest sympathy. We will pray for Jack and give thanks for his service to the Cathedral.
