Latest news of interest from across the Diocese of East Anglia includes a retiring shop manager, a Papal Nuncio visit to Cambridge and a free peace concert.
Beryl Stock (pictured above) retired as Shop Manager at St John’s Cathedral Narthex in October after 25 years dedicated service. She has seen many changes over the years, with the shop changing and growing under her skilful direction. Beryl started as a volunteer and took on more and more responsibility, with an ever-increasing space and stock. She is greatly missed by her colleagues, volunteers and parishioners who have come to know Beryl as a friend said general manager Charley Purves.
