A former Dean of St Edmundsbury who was the driving force behind the cathedral s multi-million-pound tower project has died.
The Very Reverend James Atwell was Dean of St Edmundsbury Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds from 1995 to 2006, before moving on to be Dean of Winchester until his retirement in 2016.
During his time in Bury St Edmunds, his vision and determination saw the completion of the last unfinished Anglican Cathedral through the Millennium Project - putting Suffolk’s cathedral firmly on the map.
