We are very much looking forward to welcoming Rev Wendy Dalrymple as our new Canon Pastor here at Ripon. Rev Wendy comes to us from Canterbury Cathedral where she was a Precentor, Heading up Worship and Events.

Serving her curacy in Mirfield she became the first chaplain to the Sir Robert Woodard Academy in Lancing, West Sussex. She then spent three years in the Guildford Diocese as Priest-in-Charge of a rural benefice, and eight years as Rector of All Saints with Holy Trinity, in Loughborough. She’s served as Area Dean, Chair of House of Clergy and as a General Synod representative.

Prior to ordination Rev Wendy worked with young people in church, community and prison contexts and is passionate about fostering the spiritual development of children and young people.

She is excited to be returning to Yorkshire with her husband Chris and they’re looking forward to setting up home and getting to know everyone. Rev Wendy will be licensed and installed by Bishop Nick, the Bishop of Leeds, on Sunday April 6.
