A popular Bridlington vicar is to leave the town later this year for a post based in North Yorkshire.
Reverend Matthew Pollard, who is the Rector of Bridlington Priory, is to leave for a new post at Ripon Cathedral.
After almost ten years in charge of the iconic Bridlington church, Rev Pollard who is the Padre to the local veterans groups and also visiting vicar for Headlands School and the north Bridlington primary schools, has decided to take up the prestigious post of Canon Chancellor at Ripon Cathedral in NorthYorkshire.
Rev Pollard, who is married to Adriane, said: “It will be a big wrench to leave Bridlington. In the course of over 9 years the town has become a part of me for which I will always carry with me.
“I’m very exited about taking up this post at Ripon which builds on many of the things we have been doing together in Bridlington over the years, which include making links with education and the military communities.”
