At Evensong on Sunday, the Rev. Canon Brooks Mason passed his ceremonial virge to Lisa Churchill, who will assume the duties of Head Verger. Brooks remains Canon Verger, and will continue to perform much of the liturgical role associated with this position. But because Brooks is now ordained clergy, he can no longer act as Verger at services, so Lisa will assume those duties.
