I hear the congregation at Bath Abbey today were told the name of their new Rector.
He’s the Rev. Dr Ian Mills who is currently Rector of the Chew Valley West Benefice.
Dr Mills was apparently an organist in his former life, having been Director of Music at Derry Cathedral prior to ordination.
No doubt there will be an official press release but l can tell you the new Rector grew up in Derry where he was a Chorister in St Columb’s Cathedral.
He did A-levels at Foyle College before studying a Bachelor degree, a Master’s degree and eventually a PhD in Music at Queen’s University, Belfast.
