Many congratulations to the former Dean of Carlisle, the Very Revd Mark Boyling, on being awarded an MBE for services to the Cathedral and County. Mark served as Dean for 18 years leading the Cathedral in its worship and mission. He was instrumental in the development of the award winning Fratry project and, through the Cathedrals Measure 2021, helped the cathedral to become the first to achieve charitable status.
The Very Revd Jonathan Brewster, Dean of Carlisle said ‘Mark’s considerable ministry left the cathedral with a strong foundation on which to build and it is right that he has been recognised in this way to honour the service he gave to the City and County. On behalf of the Cathedral Chapter we offer our sincere congratulations’.
John Nixon, Chair of the Cathedral Development Trust, was also awarded an MBE for his significant contribution to football and community development across England and Wales.
Our congratulations to both.
