The Very Revd Dr Andrew Braddock

The Very Revd Dr Andrew Braddock was installed as the 40th Dean of Norwich on Saturday 28 January 2023.

It is a welcome return to Norfolk for the Dean who was ordained at Norwich Cathedral in 1998 and spent his first ten years of public ministry in the Diocese of Norwich.

Ordained in Norwich Cathedral 25 years ago, the Dean of Norwich served his curacy in the parishes of Ranworth with Panxworth, Woodbastwick, South Walsham and Upton. In 2001, he was appointed Rector of Cringleford and Colney, taking up the additional role of Rural Dean of Humbleyard in 2004.

In 2008, he was appointed Diocesan Missioner in the Diocese of Gloucester and, in 2013, he became Canon Missioner of Gloucester Cathedral and Diocesan Director of Mission and Ministry, before being commissioned as Interim Dean of Gloucester in April 2022.

His appointment as the Dean of Norwich follows the retirement of the Very Revd Jane Hedges, the 39th Dean of Norwich, in May 2022.
