Farewell to John Browne

It is not only the choristers whom we shall miss. John Browne, headmaster of the Choir School for the last four years, is leaving to take up an important post at Ampleforth school in Yorkshire. Here he is, pictured in the choir school refectory.

John first came to the Cathedral 17 years ago (when I too first came as a new chaplain!) as Organ Scholar, and effected the transition to House Master at the school. Thence, his career lay in teaching. He has worked hard to raise the profile of the school and has made it the Catholic prep school of choice in London.
