The Revd David Glover has accepted an invitation from Bishop Helen-Ann to become an Honorary Canon of our Cathedral Church of St Nicholas.
David, who is the Rector of Hexham Abbey, was installed at the Cathedral on Sunday 14 January.
Bishop Helen-Ann said: "Hexham Abbey is a significant focal point for civic life within the County of Northumberland, and it is right that this is formally acknowledged in the year when the Abbey marks its 1,350th anniversary."
The Dean of Newcastle, the Very Revd Lee Batson said: "David will bring immense wisdom to the College of Canons, and strengthen the voice of Lindisfarne Archdeaconry, and county of Northumberland, in the College as it seeks to be a key part in enabling the Cathedral to serve all of the people of the Diocese of Newcastle."
