Winchester inches to safety

Winchester inches to safety

A seriously destabilised Winchester Cathedral, undergoing a thorough bishop’s investigation over bullying allegations, has extended its interim director of music by one year. It says this will ‘allow the Cathedral time to develop its aspirations’.

It says: ‘Winchester Cathedral Chapter has announced that Andrew Lucas has accepted its invitation to extend his tenure as interim director of music by 12 months to July 2026’

The previous director of music, Andrew Lumsden was prematurely retired, a peremptory act that led to the present embarrassing investigation.
