Derby Cathedral was very pleased to host the farewell service for The Venerable Karen Hamblin. Karen has been an Honorary Canon of Derby Cathedral since 2017 and has been a much valued friend and supporter of Cathedral ministry, we shall miss Karen’s contribution to Derby Cathedral very much and are sad to say farewell. We wish Karen and her family every happiness in her retirement.
