A Thetford Church’s long wait for a new rector is over.
St Cuthbert’s Church, on King Street, will welcome Peter Herbert, who will be licensed in October.

He had been curate and is a chartered librarian and recently worked on cataloguing part of the collection at Felbrigg Hall.
The pair said they were “delighted” to be coming to Thetford.
