The Rev Andrew Ison has been inducted as the new vicar of All Saints’ Church, Driffield, with St Mary’s, Little Driffield, and St Peter’s Church, Langtoft, with Foxholes, St Nicholas Butterwick, Cottam and All Saints’ Thwing.
This is a new grouping of parishes to be served by a single vicar.
Andrew was previously the Anglican chaplain of St James Voorschoten in the Netherlands for nearly five years.
The Bishop of Hull, the Right Reverend Richard Frith, supported by Rev David Butterfield, Archdeacon of the East Riding, led the induction service at All Saints’ Church, Driffield. A large congregation from Andrew’s new parishes were joined by the Mayor of Driffield, Councillor Joyce Fletcher, and representatives from a wide range of services and organisations in the community. Clergy and representatives from other churches will also be present.
