John Meredith (formerly Head Verger), Andrew Todd (Head Verger in 2016), Canon John Toy (Honorary Librarian, Theological Library in 2016), Brian Whitehouse (formerly Honorary Librarian, Historic Chapter Library), Christine Whitehouse (Honorary Librarian, Historic Chapter Library in 2016) and Canon Michael Austin are here recognised.
