Raymond Furnell
Raymond Furnell (18 May 1936 – 10 July 2006) was the Dean of York from 1994 to 2003.[1]
His first ministry position was as a curate at Cannock,[2] in the Diocese of Lichfield, from 1965 to 1969. From there, he moved to become vicar of Clayton part of Newcastle-under-Lyme, a position he held from 1969 to 1975. He then became Rural Dean for Stoke North[3] — a post he held until 1981 when he became Provost of St Edmundsbury. He remained in that post until his move to York Minster in 1994.[4] He retired from York Minster in late May 2003.[5] Following his retirement, he returned to Bury St Edmunds[6] but was a regular visitor to York. While Dean of York, he played a major role in the presentation of the York Mystery Plays to celebrate the Millennium.
