Preacher: The Very Rev’d David Monteith, Dean of Leicester

David Monteith has been Dean of Leicester since 2013. During this time the Cathedral has completed the first stage of its redevelopment with the re-interment of King Richard III and the creation of Cathedral Gardens. We have launched the 11.3million project to complete this work by 2022 whilst growing and developing the congregational life and mission of the cathedral communities. In one of Britain’s most multicultural cities, the cathedral offers generous Christian hospitality to all. Until recently he chaired the interfaith work based at the St Philip’s Centre. He recently led a Commission on Rural Mission and Ministry in the diocese. He has previously served in Birmingham and London including at St Martin-in-the-Fields.

Originally from Enniskillen, Northern Ireland he shares long term interests in music, poetry and the visual arts with a commitment to living with diversity. He shares his life in a Civil Partnership with David Hamilton.
