Canon to leave Lincoln for King-approved role
The King has approved the appointment of a canon from Lincoln Cathedral as a residentiary canon of St George's Chapel in Windsor. The Rev Canon Dr Nick Brown has been a precentor at Lincoln Cathedral and had been there since December 2020. His new role was announced by Downing Street on behalf of the King. Canon Brown said he was "in disbelief" when he was told the news and Lincoln Cathedral had been "a beautiful place to worship in". Canon Brown said his new role would involve being part of a community which prays on behalf of the King. Additionally, he said he would have oversight of properties connected to the chapel, the archives and the library. He said moving on from his role at Lincoln Cathedral was "bittersweet". "It has had its challenges, but they are challenges I think have strengthened me," the canon said. As well as serving as a canon at Lincoln Cathedral, he had also been interim dean for nine months. Before Canon Brown was at Lincoln Cathedral, he was a rector in Louth for eight years and worked in the Diocese of Salisbury prior to that. The Bishop of Lincoln, the Right Reverend Stephen Conway, said: "Nick Brown is a priest with a fine record as parish priest and canon, bearing with care and steadfastness the needs of the cathedral through testing times. "He has calmly borne multiple responsibilities beyond that for which he was recruited with grace and humour, rooted in and guaranteeing the daily prayer of the cathedral. "He will be a loss to us but a considerable gain for Windsor." Canon Brown's last Sunday at the cathedral will be 1 June and he will be installed as a Canon of Windsor on Thursday 2 October. He said Lincolnshire would always be a special place for him and he would not forget the "view of driving across the Wolds". "There'll certainly be Lincolnshire staying with me as I go," he said.
