The Very Revd Nicholas Papadopulos, Dean of Salisbury
Nicholas Papadopulos was installed as the 81st Dean of Salisbury on Sunday 9 September 2018.
Prior to his appointment he served for five years as Canon Treasurer of Canterbury Cathedral, where he led the Canterbury Journey project to repair and refurbish large parts of the historic fabric and to improve the facilities for visitors. He also oversaw the Diocesan training programme for newly ordained clergy. He moved to Canterbury from London in 2013, where he spent six years as the Vicar of St Peter’s Eaton Square, a large parish in the heart of Westminster with a fascinatingly diverse community and ministry.
He knows Salisbury well, having served Bishop David Stancliffe as his Senior Chaplain between 2002 and 2007.
Nicholas is married to Heather. They met when they both worked as barristers specialising in criminal law, and they have two grown-up children. They share the Deanery with two cats and two tortoises.
During the lockdown Nicholas has learned to garden (very amateurishly) and to run (short) distances; he enjoys reading novels, poetry, history and biography, listening to music and cooking from whatever cookbook he was given at Christmas.
