A dean is often the chief resident cleric of a cathedral or other collegiate church and the head of the chapter of canons.

Wendy Johnston, Town Planner for Wilton and head of the chapter, applauds its purpose.

He was later appointed head of the chapter of the cathedral of Kaminiec.

He served as head of the local chapter of the NAACP and eventually became a minister.

Against this background we can return to the issues outlined at the head of the chapter.

A dean is a priest who is the principal cleric of a cathedral or other collegiate church and the head of the chapter of canons.

It still serves as a parish church, meaning that until 2000 the head of the chapter of canons was called the provost, rather than the dean.

"The feelings ranged the gamut," the head of the chapter, Linda Bowker, said.

The names of earlier heads of the chapter and any deans before Peter of Blois have not survived.

The Dean of Westminster is the head of the chapter at Westminster Abbey.
