Northern Ireland clergyman to be the next Dean of Canterbury

A Co Fermanagh-born clergyman, who oversaw the reburial of King Richard III, has been named as the next Dean of Canterbury.

Originally from Irvinestown, the Very Revd David Monteith moved from Northern Ireland to England three decades ago and has been Dean of Leicester since 2013.

Dean Monteith, who is 54, was raised in the Church of Ireland during The Troubles. He was educated at Portora Royal School in Enniskillen.
